Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Design a heat distribution model for a semi-infinite rod with temperature held constant at one end while cooling from exposure at the other end. Use Fourier cosine transforms to derive the model.

💡 Hint: Draw a clear diagram to illustrate the temperature gradient.

Question 2

A cantilever beam supports a distributed load q(x). Derive the deflection equation using Fourier cosine transforms and include the relevant boundary conditions in your setup.

💡 Hint: Ensure to closely examine how loading conditions translate into deflection outcomes.
