Synopsis

For introductory mechanical engineering courses using MATLAB. This hands-on approach provides a unique and practical introduction to MATLAB by going beyond simple explanations of commands and demonstrating how to actually program. It is intended to serve two purposes. The first is to present a new toolbox for the most common statics and strength of materials problems. The second is to show, by example, how to create function files to solve generic problems. These function files expand the usability of MATLAB into new areas of study.

FEATURES

• Provides a new toolbox designed for statics and strength of materials. These toolboxes include routines that will solve a number of problems.

truss problems

shape properties such as Ix, Iy, centroid location, area, and more

will draw shear, moment, slope, and displacement diagrams for beams with n redundant supports

Mohr's circles can be drawn with one line of code for either stress or strain

methods are developed for three-dimensional representation of stress on beam cross-sections

All function files available VIA FTP from the MathWorks.
