Properties of Transforms
Unlock Audio Lesson
Let’s examine the properties of these transforms. The first property we discussed was linearity. Can anyone give me a summary of what linearity entails?
Linearity means that the transform of a sum of functions is the sum of their transforms.
Correct! Now, what about scaling?
If we scale the input function by a factor, the transform scales by the reciprocal of that factor.
Well said! Moving on, let's discuss differentiation. How does that property work?
If the function is differentiable, the transform of its derivative changes based on a specific formula for both cosine and sine transforms.
Exactly right! Remember, these properties simplify our calculations and the process of solving complex engineering problems. Lastly, who can mention Parseval’s Identity?
It relates the integral of a function's square to the integral of its transform's square!
Perfect! You all have grasped how these properties interplay in problem-solving.
Applications of Transforms

Let’s connect what we’ve learned to real-world applications. Can anyone think of a civil engineering problem where transforms are used?
I believe heat conduction in rods is one such example.
Spot on! We apply the cosine transform for rods subject to fixed boundary temperatures. Student_2, can you provide another example?
What about beam deflections under loads?
Exactly! We often use the Fourier Cosine Transform for cantilevers. How about vibrations in structures?
Sine transforms help solve vibrations in strings and rods supported at one end.
Very well! Each of these applications showcases how critical Fourier Transforms are in engineering.

The section elaborates on the definitions and properties of Fourier Cosine and Sine Transforms, which are essential for analyzing boundary value problems in civil engineering. It details their operational equations, showcasing how they recover original functions and discusses important properties like linearity, scaling, and differentiation.
Detailed
Detailed Summary
This section covers the definitions of the Fourier Cosine Transform (FCT) and Fourier Sine Transform (FST), which are essential tools in civil engineering for solving boundary value problems in semi-infinite domains. The FCT of a function f(x) defined on [0,∞) is given by:
$$
F_c(s) = \frac{2}{\pi} \int_0^{\infty} f(x) \cos(sx) \, dx,
$$
The FST is similarly defined as:
$$
F_s(s) = \frac{2}{\pi} \int_0^{\infty} f(x) \sin(sx) \, dx.
$$
The inverse transforms are also presented, allowing for the reconstruction of the original functions from their respective transforms. Key properties of both transforms include:
- Linearity: Transform of a linear combination is the linear combination of transforms.
- Scaling: The transform can be adjusted via a scaling factor.
- Differentiation: Derivatives of functions transform in a predictable manner, preserving essential properties.
- Parseval’s Identity: Links the norm of a function in the spatial domain to the norm in the frequency domain, ensuring conservation of energy.
These transforms serve as powerful techniques for dealing with temperature distributions, beam deflections, and vibrations in engineering applications.

For a function f(x) defined on [0,∞), the Fourier Sine Transform is defined as:
r2 Z ∞
F (s)= f(x)sin(sx)dx
s π
0
Detailed Explanation
The Fourier Sine Transform (FST) is a mathematical operation applied to functions defined on the interval from zero to infinity. It transforms a function, denoted as f(x), into another function in the frequency domain, represented as F(s). The definition involves integrating f(x) multiplied by sin(sx) from 0 to infinity, where 's' is the frequency variable. This transform is particularly useful in solving boundary value problems in physics and engineering, especially when the function has specific boundary conditions.
Examples & Analogies
Think of the Fourier Sine Transform like tuning a radio to pick up different stations. Just as the radio uses different frequencies to isolate various channels, the FST takes the function and breaks it down into its frequency components, allowing us to analyze how different sine components contribute to the overall shape of the function.

Inverse Fourier Sine Transform:
r2 Z ∞
f(x)= F (s)sin(sx)ds
π s
0
Detailed Explanation
The Inverse Fourier Sine Transform allows us to recover the original function f(x) from its Fourier Sine Transform F(s). This is done by integrating F(s) multiplied by sin(sx) over the appropriate interval. The result gives back the original function, demonstrating the relationship between a function and its transformed version in the frequency domain. This inverse operation is crucial for solving practical problems where we need the original function after analyzing its frequency components.
Examples & Analogies
Imagine baking a cake that has different layers representing frequency components; once the cake is baked, if you wanted to reconstruct the recipe (the original ingredients), you'd be using something akin to the Inverse Fourier Sine Transform—essentially taking your layers (frequency components) and putting them back together to recreate the delicious cake (original function).

Properties of Fourier Sine Transform:
1. Linearity:

s s s
2. Scaling:
F {f(ax)}= F , a>0
s a s a
3. Differentiation: If f(x) is differentiable and vanishes as x→∞,

4. Parseval’s Identity:

0 0
Detailed Explanation
The properties of the Fourier Sine Transform provide valuable tools for working with functions and solving problems. The linearity property shows that the transform of a linear combination of functions can be expressed as the same linear combination of their transforms—this simplifies calculation. Scaling illustrates that changing the input of the function affects the output transform proportionally. The differentiation property relates the transform of a derivative back to the original function's transform. Parseval’s Identity connects the total energy in the time domain (f(x)) with the total energy in the frequency domain (F(s)), showing that the two representations are interconnected.
Examples & Analogies
You can think of these properties like the rules of a game. Just as players know they can combine their strategies (linearity), alter their tactics (scaling), react to change (differentiation), and calculate their overall performance (Parseval’s Identity), we can use these properties of transforms to manipulate and understand functions effectively.
