Guesses poorly too, based on the examples. The crack growth example is almost laughable. These are nowhere close to where real cracks would form. Cracks start on the inside corner of brittle joints.

The bar stretch is also completely wrong, there are no stress concentrations at the top and bottom; it should be uniform stress or concentrated strain in the center depending on what they're attempting to show.

The question is whether it can get better. Even small steps aggregate to great changes over time.

First CGA monitors were bulky, energy hungry and blurry at the same time. 40 years of continuous development, and I am staring at a nice 4K screen that does not strain my eyes and is substantially more energy efficient.
