STIFFNESS OF BENDING STRINGS


## A 'realistic', 'non-elastic' string, which responses to any
## bending and has stifness. This script takes in the previous
## and the present profiles and iterates to find
## the profile in the next time step. The ratio 'r' is not 1
## like in the 'non-realistic' string since the speed of the wave
## always less than the speed of the string it should be less than 1
## for best and most stable solution
##constants
dx=1e-2 ## Spatial increment (m)
L=2 ## Length of the string (m)
M=L/dx ## Dimensionless partition
r=0.25 ## Famous dimensionless ratio
E=1e-4 ## Dimensionless stiffnes
x=-1:dx:1;
l=length(x);
x0=0.5;
k=1e2;
## Set up the initial profile
y=initial_profile(x,x0,k);
plot(x,y)
pause
## Impose the time boundary condition
ynow=y;
yprev=y;
ynow(1)=ynow(2)=0
Nsteps=2000;
for n=3:Nsteps
ynow(Nsteps-1)=ynow(Nsteps-2)=0;
ynext=propagate_stiff(ynow,yprev,r);
plot(x,ynext,';;')
axis([-1.05,1.05,-1.1,1.1])
pause(0);

PHYSICS MACHINE

Physics Machine  Ümit Alkuş  Abstract Physics machine is a software which does physics like a physicist. First, all the things human being has developed so far, for doing physics, will be available to this machine. Secondly, all the consistent theories, successful experiments, and published articles will be included into this machine in the form of traced and readable knowledge, in other words, this machine can read and understand these all. Finally, as the last target, this machine can observe the universe and physical events with the aim of creating theories and physical laws.  METU, Physics Department, 06800, Ankara, Turkey   Keywords: Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Data Mining, Artificial Physicist   Introduction There are approximately millions of articles over physics, huge collection of very successful theories, and physics books. In the earth, no physicist could have attempted to read and understand these accumulations since it re...
