openbeam
Find the lightest beam that does not sag too much, in three sessions.
- Session 1: Reactions, shear and moment: what a beam does with a load (Level 1, 60 min)
- Session 2: Stiffness and strength: second moment of area, deflection and stress (Level 2, 80 min)
- Session 3: Solve it numerically: a finite-element beam, validated and refined (Level 3, 90 min)
