dc.description.abstract | BeamBending is both an educational module and a Python package, intended to serve as a teaching aid during a first course in Statics. The aim of this module is to enhance clarity and provide visual hands-on examples while introducing the concepts of:
* stresses on slender _one-dimensional_ solids (i.e. beams)
* normal force, shear force and bending moment diagrams
The package documentation includes a simple (but still rigorous) explanation of the background theory. It is assumed that the students understand static equilibrium of flat rigid bodies, but a short recap is provided. Code snippets that reproduce the theory examples are presented next to each result.
The package can be used by
* teachers who want to automatically create problem sets with their solutions (easily scriptable, random-problem-generator friendly);
* students who want to verify their solutions to introductory problem sets;
* students who like to play with example problems and receive immediate visual feedback about how simple modifications to imposed loads affect the resulting reaction forces and internal stresses. | en |
