2 1. INTROUCTION The basic idea of the integral calculus is quite simple. All things are the sum of the individual parts and there is no limit to how small the parts can be. In engineering we use the symbol (capital delta) to mean a change of or a part of something so for example T means a change in temperature and t means a change of time and the change is significant. The symbol (small delta) means a small but finite change so T and t means a very small change in temperature and time respectively. In calculus you will find that we deal with changes so small that they approach zero and the symbol d is used so dt and dt means an infinitesimal change in temperature and time respectively. These are also called the differential coefficients. You can skip the rest of this section if you wish and go straight to section but the following will give a better grasp of the topic. To demonstrate the general idea, let's consider how an area is made up of many parts. The simplest area is a rectangle with dimensions and. We could divide the rectangle into many narrow strips as shown. Each strip has a tiny area A. We call these ELEMENTARY STRIPS..J.unn Figure 1 The distance from the bottom of the sheet is y. The height of the strip represents a small increase in the distance so we denote it y. The area of the strip is hence A = y. Since is the same everywhere the problem is a lot easier. If we choose to put a small value to y we could work out A. Now consider that the sheet is made up of many strips. To find the total area we simply SUM them all up. We can write A = A where the symbol (capital sigma) is used to mean the sum of. Since A = y we can write: A = ( y). In this case is the same for all strips so A = y The length of the sheet is and this is found by adding all the values of y. Clearly y = and the area of the sheet is A =. If the value of y is the same for each strip and there are n strips, we could find the area by multiplying. A = n y. This process is called NUMERICAL INTEGRATION. The example was very trivial but now consider what would happen if we try to apply the method to a more complicated shape such as right angle triangle.

3 TRIANGLE The area of the elementary strip A = b y. The problem is that the width b will be different for every strip and that it gets smaller as the distance y increases. Suppose we know the height (H) and the angle (). A bit of trigonometry tells us that: = H/tan() Suppose the height of each strip is y and that we will divide the area up into n strips starting from the bottom. The height of each strip must be y = H/n The area of each strip is A = b y. The width of the strip b is again found with trigonometry. b H y tanθ Figure The width of the m th H m δy strip would be b where m is a number between 1 and n. tanθ H m δy Substitute for y and it follows that δa δy tanθ H The total area is the sum of the strips m δy A δy tan θ In order to actually evaluate the area, you would have to calculate the area of every elementary strip and add them up. The thinner the strips, the more there will be and the more calculations you have to do. The accuracy of the answer improves also. With the advent of computers it became possible to solve such problems accurately by this method. In this case the problem to be solved is: A mn m1 δa n 1 H m δy δy tan LIMITS have been introduced to show that we add up all the strips from the first to the n th. If you have access to a computer with MATHCA installed on it, you might like to try this exercise that will let you evaluate the area. Try changing the number of samples, the height and the angle. See how it affects the accuracy..j.unn

4 PROLEM Find the area of a right angle triangle with a height of 1 mm and angle degrees. MATHCA SOLUTION From algebra we know = H/tan = 17.5 A = ½ H = mm This is how you enter the first line of data on the mathcad screen for 1 strips. H 1 n 1 H y y = 1. deg n This is how you enter the formula for finding. H tan( ) This is how you evaluate the formula. = 17.5 This is how you enter the formula for finding A. n ( H m. y). y A tan( ) m = 1 This how you evaluate the formula A = Now change to 1 strips. H 1 n 1 y A H tan( ) n m = 1 = 17.5 ( H m. y). y tan( ) H n y =.1. deg A = A thousand strips give an accurate answer but I think you will agree that you would not want to work out the area of 1 strips on a calculator and then add them up. The computer makes it easy. The exact answer is easily calculated from A = ½ H = mm but the method could be used for problems that have no simple formula..j.unn

5 . NEWTON S METHO Newton worked out a way of doing integration accurately without going through the laborious method of physically summing all the elements. If the elementary part can be written as a function of the variable, (an equation), then the total may be found by using his method. Consider the simple function y = f(x) = x. A graph of this function looks like this. Figure Suppose we wish to find the area under the graph. First we draw an elementary strip as shown. The height of the strip is y at any given point (this is a variable with x). The width of the strip is x. Over the range x = to x = 1 the area is the sum of the strips that make up the total. A x1 x y δx and replacing y with x we get A x1 In order to get an exact answer we must reduce the value of x to an extremely small value and use millions of strips. To indicate that the size is now infinitesimally small we change from (meaning a finite value) to d (meaning an infinitesimally small value). The answer will be perfectly correct when the small value dx is so small that it approaches the limit of zero. We say dx tends to zero and write it as dx. The area is now expressed as follows. A x 1 x x dx x The elongated S is the integral sign and the limits of the integration are shown. x δx.j.unn 5

6 THE INTEGRATION RULE FOR POLYNOMIALS The rule is the reverse process of differentiation explained in tutorial 1. WE A ONE TO THE POWER OF X AN IVIE Y THE NEW POWER. Carrying out the integration using this rule gives the following. x1 x A x dx x This is called integration between limits. Note the use of square brackets to indicate that the integration has been done but not evaluated. In order to evaluate the area between x = and x = 1 we do the following. A x1 x x x dx If we wanted the area between x = and x = 5 we would do it as follows. x5 x A x dx x Note the order in which we evaluate the bracket: the last limit is evaluated first and then the second and this is subtracted from the first. The rule for integrating powers may be written as follows. x x1 ax n n 1 x a n 1 x x1 Note that no power shown against a variable (e.g. x), means x 1 and that this integrates as x /. Anything raised to the power of zero is 1 so a number on its own integrates e.g. could be written as x and this integrates to x 1 /1 = x..j.unn 6

10 . INTEGRATION WITHOUT LIMITS The work covered so far shows how to do integration between limits. If the limits are not known then the answer to the integration must have a constant added and this can sometimes be evaluated. The reason for this becomes clear when you study differentiation in which a constant disappears. Integration being the reverse process, a constant reappears but may be zero. Integrating a power series without limits should be done as follows. n 1 n x ax a C n 1 5. OTHER FORMS OF INTEGRALS You have so far learned how to integrate power laws of the form y = ax n. There is a special case of this where the rule does not work. Integrating x -1 does not produce an answer. It can be shown that in this case the result is ln x. Other functions can be integrated and a list is given below. 1 x dx ln x C ax 1 ax e dx e C a 1 sin ax dx cos x C a 1 cos ax dx sin x C a tan x dx -ln x C 1 1 sin x dx x - sin x C 1 1 cos x dx x sin x C tan x dx ln x dx tan x - x x ln x - x C C Remember that if you are integrating between limits, you do not include the constant.

12 6. ENGINEERING CONCEPTS This section is not needed to satisfy the objectives and may be skipped but anyone studying engineering and science would do well to complete it. Calculus is used to produce formulae for various engineering concepts. Some of these are explained in the following. 6.1 SECON MOMENTS OF AREA Second moment of area is an important mathematical concept used in beam theory and hydrostatics. Consider an area and an elementary strip as shown. Figure 6 The area of the strip = A = b y 1st moment of area of strip = y A = by y nd moment of area of strip = y A = b y y For the whole area, the nd moment of area is the sum of all the strips that make up the total area. This is found by integration, hence in the limit ydy I = b y dy The limits of integration are from the bottom to the top of the area. This definition is important because in future work, when ever this expression is found, we may identify it and replace it with standard formula for I. We should now look at these.

6. MOMENT OF INERTIA Moment of inertia is an engineering concept similar to second moment of area. It is used in problems involving rotating bodies. It is in reality, the second moment of mass.

14 6. MOMENT OF INERTIA Moment of inertia is an engineering concept similar to second moment of area. It is used in problems involving rotating bodies. It is in reality, the second moment of mass. Consider a small mass m rotating on a radius of r metres. r m = first moment of mass r m = nd moment of mass. Figure 9 This is usually called the moment of inertia. The symbol is I. It is an important property of a rotating body. The moment of inertia governs how easy or difficult it is to make a wheel speed up or slow down as it rotates. Unfortunately most rotating bodies do not have the mass concentrated at one radius and the moment of inertia is not calculated as easily as indicated. Consider a plane disc rotating about its centre. The disc may be considered as made up of lots of small masses at various radii. The moment of inertia for the whole disc may be found by summing up the individual parts such that I = r m Figure 1 Another approach is to use an effective radius k. This is called the radius of gyration. If this is used then I = M k where m is the mass of the disc. This may be applied to any wheel or rotor but the problem is finding K. For a simple plane disc, it may be shown that k =.77 R where R is the outer radius of the disc. Now consider a thin elementary ring on the face of the disc. The disc is b metres thick. Figure 11 Length of ring = r Area = r dr Volume = br dr Mass = m = br dr Moment of inertia = d I = br x r dr = br dr The total moment of inertia is found by integration which is a way of summing all the rings that make up the disc. R r I π ρb r dr π ρb R π ρb R πρbr The mass of the disc is M = br Hence I = MR /.J.unn 1
