2nd Order Non-Linear Equation Numerical Solution and Plot
显示 更早的评论
Hi All,
I am looking to numberically solve and graph the following equation:
With initial conditions:
x=x(t); A and B are constant coefficients. I've been trying to use ODE45 but can't seem to get it to work properly.
Any help is appreciated!

@Conlen O'Brien, can you share what you have tried that didn;t work?

I may have just figured it out, see below:
function dxdt= odefcn(t,x,A,B)
dxdt= zeros(2,1);
dxdt(1)=x(2);
dxdt(2)=-A+B*x(2)^2
end
--------------------------------------
clear
clc
A=9.81;
B=3;
tspan = [0 10];
x0=[-25 0];
[t,x]=ode45(@(t,x) odefcn(t,x,A,B),tspan,x0);
plot(t,x(:,1),'-o',t,x(:,2),'-.')
Note that the function is saved in a seperate file. It gives me the following plot:
Am I correct thinking that the blue plot is x(t), and the orange plot is x'(t)?

@Conlen O'Brien, Good job!
Here are a couple of commands to plot results:
A=9.81; B=3;
tspan=[0 10];
x0=[-25 0];
[t,x] = ode45(@(t,x) [x(2);-A+B*x(2).^2], tspan, x0);
Plot results
subplot(211); plot(t,x(:,1),'-r.'); ylabel('x(t)'); grid on
subplot(212); plot(t,x(:,2),'-r.'); ylabel('dx/dt'); grid on; xlabel('Time')
You can see, by analyzing the original differential equation, that a "steady state" solution is
dx/dt=sqrt(A/B). Since dx/dt=constant, d2x/dt2=0, so this satisfies the original differential equation. Does the numerical solution above agree with this? Yes. sqrt(A/B)=sqrt(9.81/3)=+1.81 or -1.81. The plotted solution agrees with this: dx/dt=-1.81 in the "steady state".

tspan=[0 10]; x0=[-25 0];
A=1; B=1;
[t,x] = ode45(@(t,x) [x(2);-A+B*x(2).^2], tspan, x0);
Do you think the results make sense?

You can assign a display name to each state and toggle the legends. Also, if A and B are fixed constants, then place them inside the odefcn() function so that you don't need to assign the values to A and B every time you call the ode45 solver.
tspan = [0 10];
x0 = [-25 0];
[t,x] = ode45(@odefcn, tspan, x0);
plot(t, x(:,1), 'blue', 'DisplayName', 'x(t)'), hold on
plot(t, x(:,2), 'red', 'DisplayName', 'x''(t)'), grid on
xlabel('t'), ylabel('\bf{x}')
legend show
function dxdt= odefcn(t, x)
A = 9.81;
B = 3;
dxdt = zeros(2,1);
dxdt(1) = x(2);
dxdt(2) = - A + B*x(2)^2;
end
