python-mechanics

A Python library for calculating stresses and deformations of beams and shafts under external loads.

Want to know what this library can do and how to use it? Check out the sample scripts in the docs/examples folder.

The examples are taken from the (e)book Mechanics of Materials in SI Units, 10th Edition by Russell C. Hibbeler. It is recommended to have this book to better understand and see the context of the problems that are solved in the example scripts.

Concerning any sign conventions, the same right-handed coordinate system is used throughout the library. This coordinate system is explained in the document right-handed-coordinate-system.pdf that can be found in the folder docs/notes.
