A uniform semi-infinite elastic beam moving along the x-axis with a constant velocity v0

Chapter 15, Problem 8

(choose chapter or problem)

A uniform semi-infinite elastic beam moving along the x-axis with a constant velocity \(-v_{0}\) is brought to a stop by hitting a wall at time t = 0. See FIGURE 15.2.3. The longitudinal displacement u(x, t) is determined from

\(a^{2} \frac{\partial^{2} u}{\partial x^{2}}=\frac{\partial^{2} u}{\partial t^{2}}\),  x>0, t>0

u(0, t)=0,   \(\lim _{x \rightarrow \infty} \frac{\partial u}{\partial x}=0\),   t>0

u(x, 0)=0,   \(\left.\quad \frac{\partial u}{\partial t}\right|_{t=0}=-v_{0}\), x>0

Solve for u(x, t).
