Hi, I am Sampad Kumar Saha , an Undergraduate Mathematics and Computing Student at I.I.T. Kharagpur.
I have gone through the idea page <https://github.com/sympy/sympy/wiki/GSoC-2016-Ideas> and I am interested in working on the project named Singularity Function <https://github.com/sympy/sympy/wiki/GSoC-2016-Ideas#singularity-functions>. By going through the Idea, I understood that we want to add a package to Sympy which can be used for for solving beam bending stress and deflection problems using singularity function. Am I correct? We can by this way:- While solving we will be having the moment function as an input which we can arrange in the form of singularity functions and then integrate it twice to get the deflection curve and we can give the plot or the equation obtained of deflection curve as an output. I have gone through some documents available on internet which have brief studies on solving beam bending stress and deflection problems using singularity functions. References:- - Beam Deflection By Discontinuity Functions <http://www.colorado.edu/engineering/CAS/courses.d/Structures.d/IAST.Lect12.d/IAST.Lect12.pdf> . - Beam Equation Using Singularity Functions <https://www.civil.iitb.ac.in/~sghosh/CE327/singularity-1.pdf>. - Enhanced Student Learning in Engineering Courses with CAS Technology <http://cei.ust.hk/files/public/sympo/2007/paper_r13-thomashu.pdf>. Since there is just a brief idea given in the idea page, I have a doubt that what are the things other than solving beam bending stress and deflection problems to be implemented in the project? Any type of suggestions are welcome. ========================================================================================================================================== Regards Sampad Kumar Saha Mathematics and Computing I.I.T.
