An Online Mechanical Design Application for Beams, Columns

Abstract

An online application software presented in this paper will aid quick design of mechanical componentssuch as beams and columns. An online design Apps are facilitating productivity and design cycle of products including the design of mechanical components. Therefore, the implementation of the online application will give assess to designers and understudy students of engineering, thereby enhancing their knowledge and accessibility to design tool. The online application called BECOL is developed using the convectional engineering design approach. The design analysis of beam and column were coded HyperText Markup Language (HTML), Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) in conjunction with JavaScript (JS) and CSS developer software. The interface were loaded on a WAMP application server. The BECOL is tested with raw input data and the output results compared with numerical calculation and the results shows up to 98% agreement.
