beam_integrals 1.1.2

Console app and Python API for determining beam integrals of all 6 supported beam types, as described in D.D. Milasinovic, "The Finite Strip Method in Computational Mechanics" (ISBN 8680297194)

About

Console app and Python API for determining beam integrals of all 6 supported beam types, as described in [Milasinovic1997]. This is a reengineered, advanced version of our previous work.

This work is a part of the investigation within the research projects: [ON174027] and [TR36017], supported by the Ministry for Science and Technology, Republic of Serbia. This support is gratefully acknowledged.

Continuous integration is powered by Jenkins.

Installation

To install beam_integrals run:

$ pip install beam_integrals

It’s strongly recommended to install gmpy. Without it code will still run correctly, but much slower at high precision.

Console app usage

Quick start:

$ beam_integrals <subcomand> ...

Show help:

$ beam_integrals help

Python API usage

Quick start:

>>> from beam_integrals.beam_types import FreeFreeBeam
>>> from beam_integrals.integrals import I1, integrate
>>> integrate(I1(), FreeFreeBeam(), a=1., m=1, n=1, error=True)

New in beam_integrals 1.1.0

Feature additions

• Added a heuristic to help guessing the scale function/factor, as per the section 3.4 of my PhD thesis.
