Multiply a derivative matrix with another matrix

Question

0 个投票

I am trying to multiply the following matrices:

[d/dx 0; 0 d/dy; d/dy d/dx] * [N1 0 N2 0 N3 0 N4 0; 0 N1 0 N2 0 N3 0 N4]

where N1 through N4 are defined equations with systematic variables x and/or y. The output should be a 3x8 matrix.

For example, the (1,1) cell of the output should be the derivative of N1 in terms of x, the (1,3) cell should be the derivative of N2 in terms of x, etc.

How can I do this?

As a second question, I have this line of code: K=vpa(int(int(BT*E*B*t,x,x1,x2),y,y1,y2))

Without vpa, I get answers with large numbers/large numbers. To get it to show as a decimal answer, I used vpa, but now it's showing a large number of decimal places (around 15). I've tried format short, short g, short eng, etc and nothing seems to be working.

How can I get it to display less decimal places?

Take a look: https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/36580-operator-matrix-for-matrix-differentiation

function dNdv = diffmtx(v,N) 
% v -vector m x 1 - sym array 
% N - matrix m x n - sym array 
rz = arrayfun(@(ii)diff(N(ii,:),v(ii)),(1:numel(v)).','un',0); 
dNdv = cat(1,rz{:}); 
end
