**Fourier Series Expansion**

In this example, we are tasked with expressing a given periodic loading function using Fourier's series expansion.

### Given Function

The periodic loading function \( F(t) \) is defined piecewise as shown below:

\[ 
F(t) = 
\begin{cases} 
F_0 \sin \left( \frac{3 \pi}{T_n} t \right) & 0 < t < \frac{2 T_n}{3} \\
0 & \frac{2 T_n}{3} < t < T_n 
\end{cases}
\]

### Graph of \( F(t) \)

The graph provided shows a piecewise periodic function \( F(t) \). The specific intervals are defined by \( \frac{T_n}{3} \), \( \frac{2 T_n}{3} \), and \( T_n \), aligned with the piecewise definition above:

1. From \( t = 0 \) to \( t = \frac{2 T_n}{3} \): \( F(t) \) is a sinusoidal function given by \( F_0 \sin \left( \frac{3 \pi}{T_n} t \right) \).
2. From \( t = \frac{2 T_n}{3} \) to \( t = T_n \): \( F(t) \) is 0.

The graph clearly illustrates these intervals, showing the sinusoidal wave in the first section and a flat line at zero in the second section. Each cycle repeats after \( t = T_n \).

### Fourier Series Representation

The goal is to represent this function, \( F(t) \), using a Fourier series, which is a sum of sinusoidal functions (sines and cosines).

A Fourier series expansion takes the form:

\[ F(t) = A_0 + \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \left[ A_n \cos \left( \frac{2 n \pi}{T_n} t \right) + B_n \sin \left( \frac{2 n \pi}{T_n} t \right) \right] \]

Where:
- \( A_0 \) is the average value of the function over one period.
- \( A_n \) and \( B_n \) are the Fourier coefficients and represent the
