The package documentation includes a simplified (but still rigorous enough) explanation of the background theory, inspired in [@Beer2017] and [@Bell2015]. It is assumed that the students understand ...

The Solver contains functions which calculate the internal shear force, the internal moments, and the reaction loads. It can solve for a cantilever and a simply supported beam. The solver accepts ...

The principle of moments states that: When an object is balanced, the sum of the clockwise moments about any point equals the sum of the anticlockwise moments about the same point. Some examples of ...

Moments act about a pivot in a clockwise or anticlockwise direction. Perpendicular distance close perpendicular distanceThe distance from the pivot which makes a right angle with the line of action of ...
