    Half vs Full Range Fourier Series: Odd & Even Functions

    I'm a little confused about the difference between the half range Fourier series and the full range Fourier series. What is the difference between the two in an odd function like f(x)=x and an even function like f(x)=x^2 ? Maybe an example to clear things up. Thank you.

    Bar on Roller Spinning and Translating: Force Impact?

    I have kind of a simple concept from Dynamics that I can't really visualize. Assume that there is a bar on a roller that is spinning (both ends are free; it is rotating about a point near the middle) and translating in the x-direction. Will a force applied to one of the free ends in the...

    Solving Displacement of Prismatic Bar AD with Loads P1,P2,P3

    I'm a little lost with this question: A prismatic bar AD is subjected to loads P1 = 3k P2 = 3k P3 = 11k. Cross-sectional Area A = 1.40 sq in. Modulus of E = 17000 ksi. Find displacement of the free end of bar. What should P3 be displacement at end is to be reduced by half of original...

    What is the Allowable Load on a Tie-Down with a Bent Bar and Fiberglass Support?

    Well, actually I don't quite understand the shear stress part. Can you explain that?

    What is the Allowable Load on a Tie-Down with a Bent Bar and Fiberglass Support?

    okay, I've been banging my head against a wall for a few hours. It's a bit difficult to describe but here goes... There is a rope being pulled up with force P. The bottom of this rope is tied to a bent bar. The bent bar is shaped like an upside down U with the two ends stuck in a piece of...
