Omschrijving
Samenvatting:The use of qualitative models in small-scale presents itself as an essential tool for teaching structural systems as it allows the direct observation of the deformations in the model, therefore promoting the understanding of the mechanical behavior in an intuitive and clear way. In this sense, this work develops an analysis of the existing didactic qualitative models aiming the development of a simple and low cost qualitative model that should be capable of promoting an intuitive understanding of the mechanical behavior of the structures and, at the same time, presents enough flexibility to allow the experimentation of various structural possibilities. This model proposes to serve as a tool for learning through the visualization of the mechanical behavior of the structures. The observation of the deformations, twists, and arrows may allow the correlation of the intuitive experience of the phenomena with the numerical simulations traditionally carried out in the process of structural design. Finally, the article presents the results obtained, in which the developed model proved herself to be very promising, promoting a rich first contact with the structural behavior besides a good qualitative exploration of the structural possibilities.
