Jason,

I have gone through the *continuum_mechanics* module. As far as i could 
see, the module can solve only one basic type of beam problem(a simple 
horizontal beam with different kind of forces/moment applied).

One new kind of problem would be a non-horizontal beam(in a 2D plane). But 
problem with its implementation is that we would have to change some input 
parameters, like while initializing a beam we would need something like 
*Beam(orientation, 
E, I)  *where *orientation *can be any way to represent our beam length and 
its angle with the horizontal (we can use polar coordinates or a simple 
length vector) instead of just length. And also load will be expected to be 
vectors. Then we can proceed as usual by taking components of forces 
perpendicular to the beam.

You think these changes in the API are worth making(considering it would 
open a whole new set of beam problems)? If yes, can I implement these 
changes and create a PR?
