An educational computational application for analyzing plane stress problems oriented to engineering students called EsfPlano2D is presented to motivate students to study the subject and strengthen didactic strategies in the classroom. The application assists the step-by-step calculation of plane stress problems, which is a fundamental topic in teaching the subject of Mechanics of Materials in engineering careers. The application is a computer program developed in Fortran, linked to the free Computer Algebra System MAXIMA to plot Mohr’s circle of stresses. The developed tool is user-friendly and completely solves the plane stress problem, the associated deformations, and the strain energy by drawing Mohr’s circle of plane stresses. A validation case is presented with a typical example of the mechanics of materials. The results show the feasibility of using custom-designed tools to strengthen classroom learning and autonomous work.

Se presenta un aplicativo computacional educativo para el análisis de problemas de esfuerzo plano orientado a estudiantes de ingeniería llamado EsfPlano2D, buscando con ello motivar al estudiante al estudio del tema y fortalecer las estrategias didácticas en el aula. El aplicativo asiste el cálculo paso a paso de los problemas de esfuerzo plano, siendo este un tema fundamental en la enseñanza de la asignatura de Mecánica de Materiales en carreras de ingeniería. El aplicativo es un programa de computador desarrollado en el lenguaje Fortran que se enlaza con el Sistema de Álgebra Computacional libre MAXIMA para trazar el círculo de Mohr de esfuerzos. La herramienta desarrollada es amigable con el usuario y resuelve completamente el problema de esfuerzo plano, las deformaciones asociadas y la energía de deformación, dibujando el círculo de Mohr de esfuerzos. Se presenta un caso de validación con un ejemplo clásico de la mecánica de materiales. Los resultados muestran la factibilidad de usar herramientas diseñadas a la medida como estrategia para fortalecer el aprendizaje en el aula y el trabajo autónomo.
