DATA & FILE OVERVIEW
---------------------


1. File List
   A. Filename: HeMo.pdf    
      Short description: PDF output of the Matlab script described in the file "HeMo.m"       


        
   B. Filename: Rayleigh.pdf        
      Short description: PDF output of the Matlab script described in the file "Rayleigh.m"    


        
   C. Filename: HeMo.m        
      Short description: MATLAB script that evaluates and plots the dynamic response of a cantilever beam against two symmetrical stops ((end)-point and/or horizontal wall)
. 
The impact motion is simulated by two methods:
 a) Moreau's midpoint method
 b) Moreau-Jean's theta method
 


   D. Filename: Rayleigh.m
      Short description: MATLAB script that evaluates and plots the response of a Rayleigh beam for unit impulse load with beta=0.1 (Fourier series is 6 modes).



2. Relationship between files: 

The Rayleigh and HeMo scripts are two demonstrations of the method proposed in the related paper, "Fast In-Plane Dynamics of a Beam with Unilateral Constraints," which 
addresses impact problems against obstacles. The Rayleigh beam code is a validation problem without impact.
