Computational & Experimental Structural Mechanics

Things break. We want to know exactly how.
Because the answer tells us how to protect what matters.

At Palta Lab, we use computational and experimental tools to build better versions of the structures we break.

Interactive Course Animations

We build free, browser-based animations for anyone curious about mechanics. Every page works in English and Turkish, and the collection keeps growing. If you would like to see a problem in motion, the animations are one click away.
