Mechanics with Python#
Introduction#
About
Welcome to Mechanics with Python, some tutorials from my personal notes focusing on utilizing Plotly for visualizing concepts of University of Peradeniya's course module ME211 (Mechanics of Machines) with Python.
Inspiration
This repository is inspired by the excellent resources provided by Senior Lecturer D.H.S. Maithripala of the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Peradeniya, Sri Lanka. His course, ME211, delves into the fundamental principles of mechanics of machines, equipping you with a strong foundation for future studies and practical applications.
