Visual Mechanics

Résumé du livre

VISUAL MECHANICS is a unique, new Java-based Windows/Macintosh software package that consists of a CD-ROM with two programs (called Dr. Beam and Dr. Stress), and a manual with worksheets, exercises, and examples that focus on beam bending and analysis of stress states. The software and supporting instructional materials provide students with hands-on virtual lab that helps them visualize the behavior of beams and conditions of stress, understand mathematical models, and explore mechanics of materials theories and design methods. The routines including cover basic stress and beam concepts. The software is compatible with any strength of materials text.
