Introduction

The ordinary trigonometric function are available in

QFIRE Studio

using Trigonometric block. This functions are defined using a circle. In some applications, it is necessary to use the hyperbolic functions. Theses functions are defined using the hyperbola.

These functions can be described by:

  • Hyperbolic sine:
    sinh(x)=exex2sinh(x) = \frac{e^x-e^{-x}}{2}
  • Hyperbolic cosine:
    cosh(x)=ex+ex2cosh(x) = \frac{e^x+e^{-x}}{2}
  • Hyperbolic tangent:
    tanh(x)=exexex+extanh(x) = \frac{e^x-e^{-x}}{e^x+e^{-x}}
  • Hyperbolic secant:
    sech(x)=2ex+exsech(x) = \frac{2}{e^x+e^{-x}}
  • Hyperbolic cosecant:
    csch(x)=2exexcsch(x) = \frac{2}{e^x-e^{-x}}
  • Hyperbolic cotangent:
    coth(x)=ex+exexexcoth(x) = \frac{e^x+e^{-x}}{e^x-e^{-x}}

Due to this definition using exponential function, it is possible to create create diagrams for each function.

Simulation

The hyperbolic sine, hyperbolic cosine and hyperbolic tangent diagram are shown in Figure 1, 2 and 3.
