ABSTRACT FOR MINI PROJECT

QUIZ GAME:The concept of quizzes is currently very popular among educated circles as well as in entertainment shows. Though the quiz can be conducted manually, it often needs elaborate preparations. Quizzes contribute to the growth of knowledge of an individual and they are a popular source of entertainment. This program In JAVA focuses on creating interactive quizzes possibly with a large database of questions from various subjects. The program utilizes most of the important concepts in JAVA and in applet design. The final output is envisioned to be a user-friendly interactive quiz with which the user can gain significant knowledge and get entertainment with value-addition.

GRAPHING APPPLET:Engineers and indeed, most of the students who have studied mathematics at some part of life come across non-linear equations particularly quadratic equations. A thorough understanding of such equations is essential in mathematics to form a good foundation for further application of mathematical principles. The equations can be explained not only from an analytical point of view but also from a graphical point of view. This project focuses on creating programs which convert the given quadratic equations into a graphical format; the final output is displayed in a window which prompts for inputs the form of co-efficients of a quadratic equation. The result is then displayed on the window in the form of an appropriate graph for the given set of inputs. This project has scope for further expansion into non-linear equations which concern engineers and mathematicians. This project utilizes various concepts of java and graphical design in applet.

FINITE ELEMENT PROGRAM IN JAVA:Finite element method is the basic tool used in many mechanical design packages. Most of the design software is based on this method. So, it is imperative on the part of a mechanical engineer to learn finite element method to survive in the modern design industry. Also, most of the mechanical engineers who work with software companies engage in design packages based on finite element method and analysis. This project uniquely endeavors to combine the knowledge of computer programming and that of finite element analysis. This project focuses on making a basic finite element application such as a bar or a beam and to extend the problem, if possible to further complicated structures. The output will be in a new window prompting for input for input. The program then makes requisite calculations based on the given input and gives the required output in nodes, forces and so on. This project makes use of fundamental concepts of java and applet design and strives to display the output in as much user-friendly manner as possible.
