Last week I created #14826 to solve statically indeterminate beam systems using boundary conditions (bc_slope and bc_deflection). This week I mainly focussed on implementing a logic to find the maximum bending moment and maximum shear force in a beam.

This week I worked on solving statically indeterminate beam systems and created #14826 for that. Some work was already done in #14681, which me and Jason reviewed during community bonding period.

This week I worked on adding support for beams connected via hinge in #14773. Support for axially fixed beams and its API was implemented last week.

This week me, Arihant and Jason discussed the API for creating composite Beam objects. Initially, we used Piecewise and SingularityFunction to represent our changing second_moment but then we agreed upon .join method to represent such beams. So the final API was like:

Exams kept me occupied for previous 11 days so I wasn’t able to contribute much. Coming to this week’s work, I created two pull request:
