Develop a finite element in time formulation to calculate steady flap response in hover (Use 3 elements) given (note: dot = star operator) \(\ddot{\beta}+\frac{\gamma}{8}\dot{\beta}+\nu_{beta}^2\beta=\frac{\gamma}{8}\theta_n-\frac{\gamma}{6}\lambda\) where \(\theta_n=\theta_{1c}cos(\psi)+\theta_{1s}sin(\psi)\)

My answer doesn't really vary from the text in developing a formulation, unless he actually wants us to solve for the flap response. I say that because, in doing this, I converted the governing equation and the cyclic pitch input into the time domain so as to correspond with the time-based solution...and, in doing so, lost the ability to get an answer because of the size of the resulting terms. Not sure if I'm just making things too hard, but I have the formulation...I just can't solve it (even on the computer) without numbers because of the size of the terms involved. At least, that's how Mathcad is treating me.
How is this working out for you all?
