help with function loop
Show older comments
So I'm having trouble with the loop portion of my function. when I try multiplying my v(n) by t I get an error that's there's a different number of elements on either side of my function. I don't quite see what I need to fix. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
function [v,x,t,FD] = EDDO(N,dt,wd,k,b,f,F,m,x0,v0,t0)
x=zeros(N,1); % Preallocate position array
v=zeros(N,1); % Preallocate velocity array
t=zeros(N,1); % Preallocate time array
FD=zeros(N,1); % Preallocate array for driving force values
x(1)=x0; % Set initial condition for position in m
v(1)=v0; % Set initial condition for velocity in m/s
t(1)=t0; % Set initial time in s.
FD(1)=F*cos(wd*t(1)); % Calculate initial force value
for n=1:N % Set the number of loops
v(n+1)=v(n); % calculate next velocity
x(n+1)=x(n)+v(n); % calculate next position
t(n+1)=t(n); % calculate next time value
FD(n+1)=FD(n); % calculate next driving force value
end
end

I do not see any multiplication other than the initial force value ?
What are size(F), size(wd) ?
t(n+1)=t(n); % calculate next time value
That is likely to be wrong. Next time value would be at a later time: time should be increasing.
FD(n+1)=FD(n); % calculate next driving force value
Maybe. But I would tend to suspect that the driving force is intended to change as time changes, F*cos(wd*t(n)) or F*cos(wd*t(n+1)) or perhaps the mean of those two.
