Project Idea

[Sumanth Nandamuri]

Idea:

Structural Analysis of Beams for bending, includes finding indeterminate forces, Shear force diagram, Bending moment diagram, and diagram of deflected beam to obtain the weaker point in the structure

Status:

Currently 'sympy.physics.continnum_mechanics.beam' module is available to solve for 2-D beam problems for statically determinate structures using singularity functions. but I want to extend it to solve statically indeterminate beams, frames, trusses and 

Involved Software/ Methods:

Displacement method for finding indeterminate forces, and using 'matplotlib' to plot bending moment, shear force diagrams and importantly diagram of deflected beam to find weak points in a structure.

Difficulty:

Intermediate

Prerequisite Knowledge:

Sound Understanding of Structural Analysis concepts, ability to code in python.

**" In future this work can be further extended to solving for structures by taking input as an image of structure and obtain dimensions using future extraction from image"**

I am a 2nd year undergraduate student from Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur. I want to propose this project idea and contribute for extending sumpy library.
