Axial Loading Simulator

Put one or two members in parallel under an axial load and watch them share it by stiffness: the stiffer member takes the bigger force, but both stretch together by the same amount. Read the stress in each member, the common deflection, and the member that governs the safety factor.

Press Load to ramp the force from zero, the members stretch and their stress colours heat up. The stretch is exaggerated for clarity.

Member 1
25 mm
Member 2
30 mm

Optional. The charts and summaries already update live as you drag any parameter; this just forces an immediate full recompute.

Analysis Charts

The load-sharing charts show how the force and stress in each member grow with the total load; the material charts place each member on its own stress-strain line. The dashed line marks the current load; the teal line is the play head. Drag any parameter and every curve updates live.
