Fourier Cosine and Sine Transforms are essential tools in civil engineering for analyzing boundary value problems involving heat transfer, wave motion, and vibrations. These transforms enable the conversion of functions from the spatial to the frequency domain, allowing efficient handling of specific boundary conditions. Their applications in solving partial differential equations, particularly in semi-infinite domains, highlight their significance in engineering contexts.

Term: Fourier Cosine Transform (FCT)
Definition: A mathematical transform that converts a function defined on [0, ∞) into a function of frequency, using cosine basis functions.
Term: Fourier Sine Transform (FST)
Definition: A mathematical transform that converts a function defined on [0, ∞) into a function of frequency, using sine basis functions.
Term: Parseval's Identity
Definition: A key property that relates the integral of the square of a function to the integral of the square of its transform.
Term: Boundary Value Problems (BVP)
Definition: Problems defined by differential equations accompanied by boundary conditions that need to be solved for specific physical scenarios.
Term: Heat Equation
Definition: A partial differential equation that describes how heat distributes over time within a given region, crucial for thermal analysis in civil engineering.
