Question

The problem will be dependent of a parameter S which is given as: s - 1.6 An allen-wrench (also called unbrako fastener) is usually defined as a L-shaped bar with a hexagonal head, used to turn screws with hexagonal sockets (see Figure 1). However, for simplicity we will consider the case of an allen-wrench with quadratic head of which we are going to calculate the torsional rigidity la order to do this we have to solve the following partial differential equation: {partial differential ^2 u/partial differential x_1^2 + partial differential ^2 u/partial differential x_2^2 = -2 x = (x_1,x_2) Ohm, on partial differential Ohm , where n is the quadrat Ohm = [-s,s]^2(see Figure 2) Find the corresponding weak formulation of (1), and explain why this formulation has a unique solution.

Explanation / Answer

ux1x1 + ux2x2 = -2 in r < s with u(x1, x2) vanishing on r = s.

In polar coordinates,

urr +1/r ur = -2

We omit the term because we consider u only depends on r.

Consider v = ur and multiply by r to get

rvr + v = -2r

=> (rv) = -2r,

Integrate both sides with respect to r to get

rv = -r2 + c

=> ur = -r + cr1

=> u = -r2/2 + c log(r) + d,

where c and are constants.

But term log(r) introduces a singularity at r = 0 therefore take c = 0.

Also u = 0 at r = s.

=> 0 = -s2/2 + d

=> d = s2/2

So our desired solution is u(r) = -r2/2 + s2/2

This is the only possible solution for the problem due to the uniqueness theorem for the Neumann problem.
