Mechanics of Materials
 Mechanics of Materials is a MapleConnect package that offers solutions
to linear and elastic beam bending problems. Using MapleÕs powerful
maths engine, problem specifications can be formulated in numeric or symbolic
form, offering graphical and analytical solutions for beam sections with
up to 100 separate segments. The functions yield impressive graphics and
detailed analytical solutions, ideal for education and training as well
as in mechanical and civil engineering applications.
The package contains
eight functions that perform various calculations based on the theoretical
foundation of:
- Method of differential equation integration of linear elastic
behaviour
- Improved theory of S.P.Timoshenko, taking into consideration
shearing deformations for simple bend boundary conditions and shear angle
boundary conditions
- Winkler Foundation Model
With Mechanics of Materials,users can generate
graphical representations of beam deformations and calculate epures of
shearing forces and bending moments, and more!
Features
- Flexibility in user input forms Ð symbolic or numeric data
input offers the range of general to design-specific solutions for beam
bending problems
- Detailed analytical solutions
- Accuracy is maintained Ð no round-off
errors
- Further manipulation of the system is possible
- Optimization of the general
form expression for use with similar beam problems
- Impressive graphical
representations
- Ideal for education and training applications
Intended Audience:
- Researchers, teachers and engineers who work with applied
and structural mechanics and strength of materials
- Students of all levels
of post-secondary education
- Mechanical and civil engineers
Applications of Mechanics of Materials include:
- Education courses in Applied
Mechanics
- Engineering applications involving the strength and
mechanics of materials
- Foundations of structural mechanics
