Computer presentation of the report "Application of Excel Spreadsheets in Calculation of Beams for Strength and Stiffness" by means of Powerpoint

Abstract

The computer presentation of reports is widely accepted at conferences of different levels. The possibility of creating a computer version of the presentation of the report provides the program PowerPoint. Tools of the program PowerPoint and software package Microsoft Excel were applied to the calculation of the method of initial parameters of the prismatic beam made of the same material. No built-in templates were used in the preparation of the presentation, but an author's version was created. Animation effects have been applied to the individual elements of each sheet to make the presentation easier to understand. Change of sheets on the screen is made by the author in the course of the presentation. The presentation contains 9 sheets detailing the process of calculating the beam using Microsoft Excel. The first sheet is the title page, the other sheets show the type of the initial equation of beam bending, boundary conditions, solution of the equation, tables with formulas used in the calculation and the results obtained. A separate sheet is devoted to the stages of formatting of deflections, shear forces and bending moments built by means of Microsoft Excel.
