Project Overview
This ongoing project involves developing a Python-based engineering tool to model and visualize basic structural behavior under common loading conditions. The goal is to create a computational application that supports analysis of beam response, including shear force, bending moment, slope, and deflection.
The project is being built to strengthen my practical skills in structural mechanics, engineering computation, and technical visualization, while applying classical theory such as Euler–Bernoulli beam theory to engineering problems.
