Mechanical Design and Analysis Tool is developed for students and practicing engineers for A Smart Calculator: - A scientific calculator - A unit converter - Both :) -All actions are carried on chatting style front end. All previous entries in calculator can be retrieved by pressing their avatars. Mohr's Circle Stress Analysis: -Stress state to Mohr's Circle presentation by tapping on screen at any instant (on 2D and 3D graph presentation views). -2D Mohr's Circle Stress Analysis. -3D Mohr's Circle Stress Analysis. -2D transformations on Mohr's Circle and Stress State View. -Optional sign conventions. -Shows calculations on formula sheet -Multiple sharing options including airport transfer, can open its pdf export file on other available applications (i.e. pdf editors). -Saves and restores input data. Goodman Fatigue Analysis Diagram: -Calculations can be carried with either “residual stress method” or “nominal mean stress method”. -Goodman Diagram constructed automatically once all parameter are entered and intersection points are calculated and given on diagram for judgement. Bolted Joint Analysis: -Bolted Joint Analysis gives a force diagram and result of its simple calculations for a clamped system under axial external loads. It also gives basic terminology and information to have a better visibility of subjects.
