Virtual Lab
I was employed by University of Toronto to design a java applet that simulated the deflection of beams and the associated strains, stresses, etc. The progress of the project is provided below, click on a link to see a java applet at different times of development:
| 1. Playing with moving of the supports | Nov 2, 2002 |
| 2. Playing with moving of the loads | Nov 20, 2002 |
| 3. Distributed loads, textbox control of the supports, beam class | Dec 26, 2002 |
| 4. Interface for Point loads, Distributed loads | Jan 6, 2003 |
| 5. Updated interface, control of beam type/size | Jan 31, 2003 |
| 6. Calculation of support reactions (statically determinate only) | Feb 2, 2003 |
| 7. Graphing V,M,y (Point loads only) Applet / Screen Shots | Feb 24, 2003 |
| 8. Fixed the resizing of the graphs, and the discontinuity in V | Mar 6, 2003 |
| 9. Graphing of V, M, y complete, including distributed loads | Mar 7, 2003 |
| 10. Added strain gauges, displaying of E, G, I, beam height | Mar 18, 2003 |
| 11. Fixed scientific number formatting | May 2, 2003 |
| 12. Playing with strain field | May 3, 2003 |
| 13. Fixed principal strain field | May 21, 2003 |
