'Elastic impact' provides calculations of the effects of dropped weights and slow moving vehicles on a range of simply supported or fixed and spring supported beams. Contents (2 pages) Calculation of the effects of dropped weights or moving vehicles on simply supported or fixed end beams calculation of the effects of dropped weights on spring suppo...

'Buckling' calculates critical buckling loads for pinned, fixed and spring supported struts. It also includes calculations for stepped, tapered and variable stiffness struts and braced and unbraced truss struts with allowance for shear deformation. Contents (13 pages) Critical buckling of the following free-standing column with fixed base free-stan...

‘Beam on springs’ provides a stiffness matrix analysis for a 41-node beam with 3 degrees of freedom – vertical, horizontal and rotation. Spring supports at every node possible. Results given for bending, axial and shear forces and graphs for bending moments and shear. Contents (7 pages) Input data Results for displacements and mem...
