This differential equation's general answer is
u(x,t)=Acos(αx−ωt)+Bsin(αx−ωt)+Cx+D
The wave equation with free-end conditions is a differential equation of the form
????2∂2????∂x2=∂2????∂????2,00a2∂2u∂x2=∂2u∂t2,00
where ???? is the longitudinal displacement of a vibrating elastic bar, and x and t are the spatial and temporal variables, respectively.
∂????∂x∣∣∣x=0=0,∂????∂x∣∣∣x=????=0,????>0∂u∂x|x=0=0,∂u∂x|x=L=0,t>0
and the initial condition is
????(x,0)=x∂????∂????∣∣∣????=0=−2,0
u(x,0)=x,∂u∂t|t=0=-2,0
To solve this differential equation, we use the method of separation of variables. We first rewrite the equation as
a2∂2u∂x2=∂2u∂t2,
and then we assume that u can be written as a product of two functions, one of x and one of t. That is,
u(x,t)=X(x)T(t).
Substituting this into the wave equation and rearranging, we obtain two equations for X and T:
a2X″(x)=−ω2T(t)
a2T″(t)=−ω2X(x).
X(x)=Acos(αx)+Bsin(αx).
T(t)=Ccos(ωt)+Dsin(ωt).
Therefore, the general solution of the wave equation with free-end conditions is
u(x,t)=Acos(αx−ωt)+Bsin(αx−ωt)+Cx+D.
