<p>I recommend <a href="http://www.mdbg.net/chindict/chindict.php?page=radicals" rel="nofollow">mdbg.net's radical section</a>. The first charachter on each individual radical's page is always the character the radical comes from followed by the radical itself (if they're different), followed by anywhere from a couple to several hundred charachters with that radical in simplified and traditional. Clicking on a charachter on any of the radical page takes you to the dictionary which shows the character in both simplified and traditional.</p>

<p>Hope this was helpful!</p>

<p>I've done a brief search through CSE, but found nothing too helpful. Are there any online resources that explain the meaning of the radicals followed by some examples in simplified Chinese?</p>

If you use Pleco (the Chinese Dictionary app) there is an addon dictionary and a flashcard list for radicals and explanations here: http://www.plecoforums.com/threads/radical-dictionary-flashcards-ios-android-tested.1149/ but I haven't tried it myself so dunno if it's suitable for you.

I compiled a list of the 100 most common radicals here: http://www.hackingchinese.com/kickstart-your-character-learning-with-the-100-most-common-radicals/ It contains simplified, traditional, variant forms, meaning, pronunciation, example characters and colloquial names.

I've done a brief search through CSE, but found nothing too helpful. Are there any online resources that explain the meaning of the radicals followed by some examples in simplified Chinese?

I recommend [mdbg.net's radical section](http://www.mdbg.net/chindict/chindict.php?page=radicals). The first charachter on each individual radical's page is always the character the radical comes from followed by the radical itself (if they're different), followed by anywhere from a couple to several hundred charachters with that radical in simplified and traditional. Clicking on a charachter on any of the radical page takes you to the dictionary which shows the character in both simplified and traditional.

Hope this was helpful!
