How you learn with Axle

1

Start simple

Every topic starts with a short, simple explanation and a figure. The formulas come once you have the idea.

2

Try it yourself

Drag the figures and see what happens: move a pole, change the road surface, tune a controller.

3

Practise until it sticks

Problems get new numbers every time. What you miss comes back – and what you know is reviewed just often enough.

4

Build on it

When a topic sticks, you move on. Worked examples show the method when you are stuck.

Drawn, not just written

The figures in Axle are made to explain: here the shear and moment diagrams are computed from the load, so they always match the beam.
