Description

Taking your first mechanics of materialsclass? The Wolfram Mechanics of Materials Course Assistant willhelp you solve those tricky homework problems, prepare for yournext exam, and be ready to tackle future courses! The WolframMechanics of Materials Course Assistant solves your specificproblems, performs unit conversions on the fly, and shows you theequations!

This app covers the following topics applicable to mechanics ofmaterials, mechanics of deformable bodies, solid mechanics,mechanics and materials, and statics:

- Calculate the normal stress on and extensional strain in abody
- Solve for the effects of temperature changes on a member
- Search for material properties of alloys, plastics, andwoods
- Determine the Young's modulus, Poisson's ratio, and shear modulusof an object
- Use Hooke's Law for uniaxial stress and plane stress and ageneralized version to solve for a member's stress or strain
- Evaluate axial deformation problems
- Find the shear stress on circular bars, rectangular or ellipticalshafts, and thin-walled members undergoing torsional forces
- Determine the twist angles of torsion members
- Calculate the extensional strain and flexural stress in purebending beams
- Solve for the deflection of statically determinate beams

The Wolfram Mechanics of Materials Course Assistant is poweredby the Wolfram|Alpha computational knowledge engine and is createdby Wolfram Research, makers of Mathematica—the world's leadingsoftware system for mathematical research and education.

The Wolfram Mechanics of Materials Course Assistant draws on thecomputational power of Wolfram|Alpha's supercomputers over a 2G,3G, 4G, or Wi-Fi connection.
