Barroso Meeting II

Went through two different column analysis (see description below).

To do:
  • Research function for column -- parabola, cosine -- and compare (pro's and con's)
  • Continue CH 1 as planned, except move I.9 (Approach) to CH 2 to have more time for development of research. (Overall, Barroso likes CH 1)

More accurate: Continuous System (Barroso will look into that)

Approx.: Define a shape
y(x) = Y0cos(Bx)
y''(x) = -Y0B^2 cos(Bx)

y(x), Yo - function of time
B - function of geometry
E, I, L
* keep everything as variables
