Equations
Where u : S R3 where S R3 is the shape being deformed, and B is the region where boundary conditions are given.
Linear deformation
Because the equation only depends on second derivatives, ane u are solutions of the equation:
u(r) = Ar + b
If the boundary condition uB is a linear transformation, then the solution u will be the same linear deformation extended to the entire domain.
The shape S is an annulus with radii Rmin and Rmax , so we will use cylindrical coordinates. The boundary conditions are u(Rmin , , z) = C and u(Rmax , , z) = . In cylindrical coordinates we have: D
u = u = 1 1 u uz (rur ) + + r r r z 1 uz u ur uz 1 (ru ) ur ( ) + ( r ) + ( ) z r z z r r r
We will guess that the solution will have the form u(r, , z) = f (r). We have: u = ( u) = 0
= Ar2 + B = Ar + Br1
Here A and B are constants. The guess was succesful. Plug in the boundary conditions:
1 ARmin + BRmin 1 ARmax + BRmax 2 ARmin + B 2 ARmax + B 2 2 A(Rmax Rmin )
By symmetry:
B =
