Assisted Simplification with other equations?

1 view (last 30 days)
I want to simplify an equation knowing certain other information. My equation is this:
syms b Q e gamma K_phi eta K_theta ao CL_delta delta_o CM_delta c ao
eqn = (ao*((CL_delta*Q)/ao - (Q^2*e*(tan(eta)*((CL_delta/ao + (CM_delta*c)/(ao*e))*((Q*b)/2 - cos(gamma)*sin(gamma)*(K_phi - K_theta)) + (CL_delta*b*(K_theta*cos(gamma)^2 - Q*e + K_phi*sin(gamma)^2))/(2*ao*e)) - (CL_delta/ao + (CM_delta*c)/(ao*e))*(K_phi*cos(gamma)^2 + K_theta*sin(gamma)^2 + (Q*b*tan(eta))/2) + (CL_delta*b*(cos(gamma)*sin(gamma)*(K_phi - K_theta) + Q*e*tan(eta)))/(2*ao*e)))/((K_phi*cos(gamma)^2 + K_theta*sin(gamma)^2 + (Q*b*tan(eta))/2)*(K_theta*cos(gamma)^2 - Q*e + K_phi*sin(gamma)^2) + (cos(gamma)*sin(gamma)*(K_phi - K_theta) + Q*e*tan(eta))*((Q*b)/2 - cos(gamma)*sin(gamma)*(K_phi - K_theta)))))/(CL_delta*Q);
I was told that using the below information that I can simplify eqn to be truely a function of gamma alone, but I cannot prove it or do it in MATLAB. The info is:
b/c = 6;
e/c = 0.1;
K_phi/K_theta = 3;
CL_delta/ao = 0.4805020381;
CM_delta/ao = -0.096610459;
eta = pi/6;

Since Q does not appear in your 6 conditions, this cannot be true.

... Unless Q happens to appear in a way that cancels once you do the other substitutions. Which does not happen to be the case. The Q^2 in the numerator can be divided by the Q in the denominator, but that is going to leave a Q.

Use subs() command and assign variables properly, e.g.:
syms b Q e gamma K_phi eta K_theta ao CL_delta delta_o CM_delta c ao
eqn = (ao*((CL_delta*Q)/ao - (Q^2*e*(tan(eta)*((CL_delta/ao + (CM_delta*c)/(ao*e))*((Q*b)/2 - cos(gamma)*sin(gamma)*(K_phi - K_theta)) + (CL_delta*b*(K_theta*cos(gamma)^2 - Q*e + K_phi*sin(gamma)^2))/(2*ao*e)) - (CL_delta/ao + (CM_delta*c)/(ao*e))*(K_phi*cos(gamma)^2 + K_theta*sin(gamma)^2 + (Q*b*tan(eta))/2) + (CL_delta*b*(cos(gamma)*sin(gamma)*(K_phi - K_theta) + Q*e*tan(eta)))/(2*ao*e)))/((K_phi*cos(gamma)^2 + K_theta*sin(gamma)^2 + (Q*b*tan(eta))/2)*(K_theta*cos(gamma)^2 - Q*e + K_phi*sin(gamma)^2) + (cos(gamma)*sin(gamma)*(K_phi - K_theta) + Q*e*tan(eta))*((Q*b)/2 - cos(gamma)*sin(gamma)*(K_phi - K_theta)))))/(CL_delta*Q);
display(eqn)
eqn = 
b = 6*c;
e = 0.1*c;
K_phi = 3*K_theta;
CL_delta = 0.4805020381*ao;
CM_delta = -0.096610459*ao;
eta = pi/6;
eqn=subs(eqn, b);
eqn=subs(eqn, e);
eqn=subs(eqn, K_phi);
eqn=subs(eqn, CL_delta);
eqn=subs(eqn, CM_delta);
eqn=subs(eqn, eta);
FINAL_eqn = eqn;
display(FINAL_eqn)
FINAL_eqn =

This is not going to be able to transform to an expression in just gamma. This is not the correct solution to the question asked, and Torsten had the correct answer.

Thank you both, I realized my mistake in the original expression and this command definitely will work for me.
