HYPERBOLIC FUNCTIONS
Hyperbolic sign of x = sinh x = (1/2)(ex – e-x)
Hyperbolic cosine of x = cosh x = (1/2)(ex + e-x)
For case I, after the boundary conditions are used the following equations result.
C1 + C2 = θb
h(C1emL + C2e-mL) = km(C2e-mL –C1emL)
After rearranging the 2nd equation we have
C1 + C2 = θb
C1 ( mkh e mL
) ( mkh e
+ e mL +C 2 −mL
)
−e−mL =0
