1.1 The beam of a rectangular thin-walled section (i.e., t is very small) is designed
to carry both bending moment M and torque T. If the total wall contour length
L = 2( a + b) (see Fig. 1.16) is fixed, find the optimum b/a ratio to achieve the
most efficient section if M = T and allowable = 2 allowable . Note that for closed
thin-walled sections such as the one in Fig.1.16, the shear stress due to torsion is
T

Solution:
My
(1) The bending stress of beams is = , where y is the distance from the neutral
I
axis. The moment of inertia I of the cross-section can be calculated by considering
the four segments of thin walls and using the formula for a rectangular section
1
with height h and width w. I = ( wh 3 + Ad 2 ) in which A is the
12
cross-sectional area of the segment and d is the distance of the centroid of the
segment to the neutral axis. Note that the Parallel Axis Theorem is applied. The
1 3 1 b tb 2
result is I = 2 tb + 2 [ at 3 + (at ) ( ) 2 ] (3a + b) , assuming that t is

very small.

Again we minimize S = 2abt = ( L 2b)bt in order to maximize , i.e.,

be obtained using M = T . We have

max = = = 2 = max = allowable
tb(3a + b) t ( L / 4) (3 L / 4 + L / 4) tL 2 2
< allowable = 2 allowable
This means that when the structure fails in shear, the bending stress is
b
still within the allowable stress level. Thus the optimum ratio = 1 is

valid.

1.3 The dimensions of a steel (300M) I-beam are b = 50 mm, t = 5 mm, and h = 200
mm (Fig. 1.17). Assume that t and h are to be fixed for an aluminum(7075-T6)
I-beam. Find the width b for the aluminum beam so that its bending stiffness EI
is equal to that of the steel beam. Compare the weights-per-unit length of these
two beams. Which is more efficient weightwise?
Solution:
(1) The expression of area moment of inertia I for an I-beam is:
t b h
I= (h t ) 3 + [ t 3 + (bt )( ) 2 ] 2 , by applying Parallel Axis Theorem.
12 12 2
(2) First obtaining the area moment of inertia of the steel (300M) I-beam with given b,
t, and h.
5 50 200 2
I Steel = (200 5) 3 + [ 5 3 + (50 5)( ) ] 2 = 8090573mm 4
12 12 2
(3) For the given condition ( EI ) Alu min um = ( EI ) Steel
E St 200
we have I Al = I St = 8090573 = 22790000mm 4
E Al 71
which allows to calculate the width b for the aluminum beam with the following
result:
5 b 200 2
I Al = ( 200 5 )3 + [ 5 3 + ( b 5 )( ) ]2
12 12 2
= 3089531.3 + 100020.8b = 22790000
and b = 197 mm
---- ANS
(4) Then we compare the weights-per-unit length of these two beams.
1.3.1
St = 7.8( g / cm 3 ) = 7.8 10 3 ( g / mm 3 )
Al = 2.78( g / cm 3 ) = 2.78 10 3 ( g / mm 3 )
For a unit length of both materials, the aluminum beam is much lighter than the
steel beam. It means that the ALUMINUM BEAM IS MORE EFFICIENT!
--- ANS
1.3.2
Solution:
Proceed in the same manner as that of problem 1.3.
(1) The expression of area moment of inertia I for a I-beam is:
t b h
I= (h t ) 3 + [ t 3 + (bt )( ) 2 ] 2
12 12 2
(2) First, obtain the area moment of inertia of the steel (300M) I-beam with given b, t,
and h. We have
5 50 200 2
I Steel = (200 5) 3 + [ 5 3 + (50 5)( ) ] 2 = 8090573mm 4
12 12 2
E St 200
we have I Com = I St = 8090573 = 11558000mm 4
ECom 140
The moment of inertia of the composite beam is given by
5 b 200 2
I Com = ( 200 5 )3 + [ 5 3 + ( b 5 )( ) ]2
12 12 2
= 3089531.3 + 100020.8b = 11558000
1.4.1
(ii) Compare the weights per unit length with that of the aluminum beam
wCom = 2.8( g / mm ) < wAl = 8.2( g / mm )
1.4.2
Solution:
(1) Consider a very small section within the curved panel with thickness t and length
L . is the constant shear stress, so we have the shear force V = ( L t )
acting on the cross section.
(2) It is possible to take apart the shear force into x and y direction shown in the
figure, where
V x = V cos = L t cos = t (L cos )
= t x
similarly, V y = t y

1.6 The sign convention (positive direction of resultants) used in the beam theory
depends on the coordinate system chosen. Consider the moment-curvature
relation
d 2w
M = EI 2
dx
in reference to the coordinate system shown in Fig. 1.18. If w is regarded as a
positive displacement (or deflection) in the positive y-direction, find the positive
direction of the bending moment. State the reason.
Solution:
d 2w d 2w
(1) The moment-curvature relation M = EI gives that is always
dx 2 dx 2
opposite in sign to M. (It is quite obvious that both E and I are always positive.).
(2) We can assume a moment M applying to the beam as shown below, which makes
dw
the beam concave upwards. It is not difficult to observe that the slope
dx
d 2w
increases with increasing x and thus a positive .
dx 2
(3) By applying the statement (1), it is concluded that the deformation described in (2)
is produced by a negative moment while a positive moment makes the beam
concave downward as shown below..
1.6.1
1.7 Compare the load-carrying capabilities of two beams having the respective
cross-sections shown in Fig. 1.19. Use bending rigidity as the criterion for
comparison. It is given that a = 4 cm, t = 0.2 cm, and the two cross-sections
have the same area.
Solution:
When using the bending rigidity ( EI ) as a criterion for comparison, Youngs modulus
E and the area moment of inertia I should be estimated.
(1) Youngs modulus E :
Assume the Youngs modulus of the beam having the left-hand-side
respectively.
(2) Moment of inertia I :
(i) Left cross-section:
1 4 1
Il = a = 4 4 = 21.33cm 4

(ii) Right cross-section:

12 12
t 3 1 a b
or { I r = a + [ b4 + b2 ( + )2 ] 2 }
12 12 2 2
where b remains unknown. There is another condition, two cross-section
have the same area, which will help to solve b.
Al = a 2 = 4 2 = 16cm 2 , Ar = 2 b 2 + a t = 2 b 2 + 4 0.2
1.7.1
Ir =

or { I r = 4 + [ 2.7568 4 + 2.7568 2 ( + ) ] 2 = 184 cm 4 }
12 12 2 2
(3) Performance:
The ratio of the moments of inertia of the two cross-sections can be expressed as
( EI )l EI 21.33 El El E
= l l = = = 0.12 l
( EI )r Er I r 184.18 Er 8.635 Er Er
The cross-section to the right is much better if the same material is used for
both beams.
1.7.2
Solution:
(a) Since w = 0 , there is no deformation in the z-direction and the deformation can
be represented in the x-y plane.

It can also be verified by:

= V0 ( 1 + xx + yy + zz + xx yy + xx zz + yy zz + xx yy zz 1 )
= V0 ( xx + yy + zz + xx yy + xx zz + yy zz + xx yy zz )
Since the deformation is very small, we have << 1 => higher order terms can
be dropped. Therefore we have
V V0 ( xx + yy + zz ) = xx + yy + zz , since V0 = 1
2.1.2
Solution:
(a) Consider a unit cube, the coordinates before deformation corresponding to each
corner are:
A(0,0,0), B(1,0,0), C(1,1,0), D(0,1,0),

(e) The normal strain in the x-direction is xx = = 0 ,02 . The change of distance
x
between the two points can be estimated by
=> D x = xx ( x 2 x1 ) = 0.02 (5 0) = 0.1
(f) Compare the two results
From the displacement field calculation, we have D = 0.100245 ,
And directly from the strain calculation, we have D = 0.1
They are basically the same when the strain components are small.
2.3.2
2.4 Consider the problem of simple shear in Example 2.1 and Fig. 2.5. From the
deformed shape, find the normal strain for material along the line CB by
comparing the deformed length C ' B' and undeformed length CB .
Set up new coordinates (x,y) so that the x-axis coincides with CB , and y is
perpendicular to the x-axis. The relation between (x,y) and (x,y) is given by
x' = x cos + y sin
y ' = x sin + y cos
where = 45 o is the angle between x and the x-axis.
Write the displacements u and v in the x and y directions, respectively, in
terms of the new coordinates x and y. The relation between (u,v) and (u,v) is
the same as between (x,y) and (x,y). Then calculate the strains using u and v,
i.e.,
u '

Solution:
(a) The result of example 2.1 gives the new positions of A, B, C, D, which are
A(0.01,0), B(1.01,1.015), C(0,0), D(1,0.015).

Since displacements transform like coordinates, we can write

where we can also write in matrix form,

So the displacements u and v can be derived, from equation (3) and (4), and by
applying (2), set = 45 o , as follows:

First the constant stress field given by (1) satisfies the 3D equilibrium equations

Since the entire thin-wall section must rotate as a rigid body in the plane, we

Substituting q12 = q1 q 2 , in the equation above, we obtain
q2 = 1.687 q1 (3.8.5)
Back substituting into (3.8.2) and (3.8.4), we have

Subsequently from (3.8.5) we obtain

3.13 Find the distributions of the primary warping displacement on the cross-sections
shown in Fig. 3.39b. Due to symmetry, the center of twist coincides with the
centroid of the section, and warp at the midpoint of each flat sheet section is zero.
Sketch the warping displacement along the wall.
(b)
Solution:
(a) Observation.
Because of the symmetry, the center of twist coincides with the centroid of the
section, and warp at the midpoint of each flat sheet section is zero.
So from the figure above we set w = 0 at the midpoint of each flat sheet. First
we assume the warp at point A is positive of z-direction. While going from A to B,
we pass the midpoint and then the warp goes from positive into negative part, then
end at point B with the maximum negative warping. Using the same concept on
sheet BC will result in a maximum positive warping at point C. Now we consider
the sheet CA by using the same conclusion, we will surprisingly find the warping
at A is negative of z-direction. Hence it contradicts our assumption of A being
3.13.1
(c) Assume the applied torque is uniformly applied to the cross-section. Also, the
material is isotropic so that the shear modulus is constant.
For the equilateral triangular section, we have
3b 2
A= (3.13.6)

And since the section is symmetric, we can just take the sheet CA into
consideration and applied to all other sheets. Assume the origin of s is on the
midpoint of sheet CA, so w(0) = 0 , then we have

As = (3.13.7)

(d) The distribution of shear flow at the built-in end ( z = 0 ).
From the equation (3.85) in the textbook, the shear flow at any location s at the
built-in end ( z = 0 ) is

Here it is important to emphasize that the s-direction is measured from the point
where shear flow vanishes. Hence s begins from the free end of the horizontal
sheet as shown in the figure below. Also, due to the symmetry w.r.t. x axis, we
only need to consider the part above x-axis. This allows us to modify equation of
A s from (3.16.4) and (3.16.5).

In the equations above, the area A in the GA term is the effective area of the

5.1 Find the flexural shear flow produced by the transverse shear force Vz = 1000N
in the beam with the thin-walled section given by Fig. 5.30.
Solution:
(a) Assume that the transverse shear force acts through the shear center, and, thus, no
torsional effect exists. Assume that the loss of material at the cut is negligible.
Hence the centroid of the cross-sectional area is obviously at the center as shown
in Fig. 5.30.
The shear flow is obtained by
VQ
qs = z (5.1.1)
Iy
where Q = zdA = As z c is the first moment of area As (the area measured

along the wall from an free edge to the current position of interest), and z c is the
vertical distance from the centroid of As to the y-axis. We have

The first moment Q for this segment must include the entire first moment of the

shear center.

Solution:

reference point for the location of the centroid of this four-stringer section. We
have the horizontal and vertical distances of the centroid from stringer 2 as

5.5.1
make a fictitious cut between stringers 1 and 3 and consider the shear flow as the
superposition of two shear flow systems as shown in the figure below.
(1) First, calculate the shear flows by assuming a cut in the wall between stringers
1 and 3. Then q '31 = 0 , and the shear on the cut section is calculated by using
V z Qi
q'i = (5.5.1)
Iy
i
where Qi = Ak z k is the first moment of stringer area Ak , and z k is the
k =1
V z Q1 5000(10 10 4 0.1)
q '12 = = = 25000 N / m
Iy 2 10 5
(2) Adding the shear flow q0 from the second part, we have the total shear flow as
q12 = q '12 + q 0 = 25000 + q 0
q 23 = q ' 23 + q0 = q 0
q31 = q '31 + q 0 = q 0
The resulting moment of the total shear flow must be equal to the moment
produced by V z . Taking moment about stringer 1, we have
V z 0 = 2 A12 q12 + 2 A123 q 23
(0.8)(0.2)
= 2( (0.2) 2 )(25000 + q 0 ) + 2 q0
8 2
= 785.4 + 0.1914q 0 = 0
=> q0 = 4103N / m
Note: A12 is the area enclosed by the curved sheet and the line connecting
stringers 1 and 2; A123 is the area enclosed by the lines connecting stringers 1,
2, and 3. Also note that the shear flow passes stringer 1 and, thus, does not
produce any moment.

(b) Shear flows
Assume the shear force acts through the shear center and results without
producing torsion. The shear flow in the unsymmetrical thin-walled section is
calculated using

q1 ( s1 ) = (k yV y k yzV z )Q z (k zV z k yzV y )Q y
1 2 1
= (k yV y k yzV z )( ts1 tbs1 ) (k zV z k yzV y )( ths1 )

The moment about the centroid by the shear force must be equal to that produced
by the shear flow:

Since V3 = V1 , we conclude y sc = 0
Thus,

The shear center is at the centroid of the Z-section.

5.10 Find the shear flow in the two-cell section loaded as shown in Fig. 5.35 for
Vz = 5000 N . Given G = 27GPa , find the twist angle .
Solution:
(a) Assume that the thin sheets are ineffective in bending. Because of symmetry, the
centroid of this two-cell section is obviously located at the mid point of the
vertical web. Set up the (y, z) coordinate system with the origin at the centroid.
The moment of inertia with respect to y axis is
I y = Ai z i = 2(10 10 4 )(0.2 2 ) = 8 10 5 m 4
2
Cuts are made on the curved webs as shown in the above figure. Note that the cut
section is basically reduced to a single vertical web and, thus, the shear flows are
simply:
r =0
q'12l = q12
Vz 5000
q'12 v = = 12 ,500 N / m
h 0 .4
So the shear flows in the original section are
q12 v = q'12 v q1 + q 2 = 12500 q1 + q 2
q12l = q1
5.10.1
q12 r = q 2
where q1 and q2 are the constant shear flows in the left and the right cells,
respectively. Note that q1 and q2 are both assumed to be positive if
counterclockwise.
(1) Moment equation
Take the moment about the centroid of this cross-section, we have
Vz 0 = 2 A1q1 + 2 A2 q2
1
where A1 = A2 = h 2 = 0.0628 m 2

=> q1 + q 2 = 0 (5.10.2)
(2) Compatibility equation

=> q1 q2 = 7001( N / m ) (5.10.3)
Solving equations (5.10.2) and (5.10.3), we have
q1 = 3500( N / m )
q2 = 3500( N / m )
Then the final shear flows are
q12 v = 12500 q1 + q2 = 5498 N/m
q12l = q1 = 3500 N / m
q12 r = q2 = 3500 N / m
Negative sign means the actual direction is opposite to the assumed.

And the twist angle is

ds =
2(27 10 9 )(0.06283)(0.001)

As expected, there is no twist angle produced since the vertical load is applied
through the shear center.

5.11 Find the shear flow of the structure with the cross-section given in Fig. 5.35 if
the vertical force V z is applied at 20cm to the right of the stringers. Also
find the corresponding angle of twist .
Solution:
(a) Assume that the thin sheets are ineffective in bending. Because of the symmetry to
both y and z axis, the centroid of this two-cell section is obviously located at the
center of the vertical web. So we can shift the y and z axis to match the centroid as
a new origin of the new coordinate system.
The moment of inertia with respect to y axis is
I y = Ai z i = 2(10 10 4 )(0.2 2 ) = 8 10 5 m 4

Assume both a cut on the circular webs, as shown in the above figure. So the shear
flow in the vertical web can be obtained by

where q12l and q12 r are shear flows, respectively, in the left and right curved
walls. q1 and q 2 are constant shear flows, in the left and right cells,
respectively. Both are assumed to be counterclockwise.
(1) Moment equation
Take moment about the centroid of this cross-section, we have
1
V z (0.2) = 2 A1 q1 + 2 A2 q 2 , where A1 = A2 = h 2 = 0.063m 2

Solving equations (5.11.2) and (5.11.3), we have
q1 = 478.33( N / m)
q 2 = 7479.65( N / m)
Then the complete solution for the shear flows is
q12 v = 12500 q1 + q 2 = 5498.66( N / m)
q12l = q1 = 478.33( N / m)
q12 r = q 2 = 7479.65( N / m)
Negative sign means the actual direction is opposite to the assumed.

for Problem 4.10.
q12 v = 5498 + 0 = 5498 N / m
q12l = 3500 + q = 3500 + 3978 = 478 N / m
q12 r = 3500 + q = 3500 + 3978 = 7478 N / m

Solution:
The shear flow in the welded section loaded by the off center shear force Vz is of

To solve the problem, we first make a fictitious cut at the original gap of the wall as

flow q 0 along the contour of the wall. This unknown constant shear flow is
needed to produce the same moment as produced by the vertical shear force

original cut.

where x and y are orthogonal axes in the directions tangential to the surface at the

only normal stresses presnt. Thus,

1 2 Y (6.2.1a)
2 3 Y (6.2.1b)
3 1 Y (6.2.1c)
After substituting the stress values, all three inequalities become one:
100 p0 Y = 250 MPa . Thus, the maximum internal pressure p 0 that does not
cause yielding is p 0 = 2.5MPa
--- ANS
2( 100 p0 )2 = 2 Y 2 = 2( 250 )2 ,
6.2.1
so the maximum internal pressure p 0 that does not cause yielding is p 0 = 2.5MPa
--- ANS
Both criteria give the same maximum pressure of p 0 = 2.5MPa .

6.3 Consider the problem of Example 6.2. Find the maximum p 0 without causing
yielding if N = 5 10 6 N (compression).

From example 6.2, we have yield stress Y = 280 MPa , the radius of the thin-walled

6.4 An aluminum alloy 2024-T651 (see Table 6.1) panel is subjected to biaxial
loading as shown in Fig. 6.24. Assume that 1 = 300MPa and 2 can be
compression that the panel can withstand before yielding according to von
Mises yield criterion.
1 1
Solution:
From Table 6.1, we have the yield stress Y = 415MPa for aluminum 2024-T651.
By von Mises yield criterion for plane stress,
1 1
( 1 2 1 2 + 2 2 ) = Y 2 (6.4.1)
3 3
Substituting 1 = 300MPa and Y = 415MPa , we have
In tension: 2 = 473.61MPa
In compression: 2 = 173.61MPa
This solution indicates that if loads in both directions are tensile (or compressive), it
would be more difficult to yield the material than if one is tensile and the other is
compressive.

6.7 To further split the beam of Fig. 6.27, a rigid pin of diameter d = 0.5cm is
inserted as shown in Fig. 6.28. How far does one have to drive the cylinder in
order to split the beam? Assume a plane strain fracture condition with
K Ic = 50MPa m .
Solution:
Use the beam dimensions and the material properties in Problem 6.6.
E = 70GPa , = 0.3 a = 10 10 2 m , t = 2 10 2 m
L = 15 10 2 m , h = 1 10 2 m
The vertical displacement of each split beam at the position of the cylinder is
d
= = 0.25cm . This is an approximate value because the exact contact points may
2
not be diametric.
Consider the upper leg as a cantilever beam subjected to a vertical load P at a distance
a - c from the crack tip. The load-deflection relation can be found in any mechanics of

For a large cylinder with a small crack that is perpendicular to the uniform hoop stress

larger diameter, then in region of the crack may be approximated by a flat plat
subjected to antisymmetric shear loading as shown in the figure below.
So this is a mode II fracture problem and the large plate solution for stress intensity
factor may be used. We have
0.05
K II = 0 a = 31.83T ( ) = 8.92T

Therefore, the maximum torque that the cracked cylinder can withstand is estimated
as
K II = K IIc => 8.92T = 5

6.9 Consider the thin-walled box beam in Fig. 6.17. The top wall contains a crack
parallel to the x-axis. The crack length is 0.02 m (i.e., a = 0.01m ). Assume that
the material is brittle and that modes I and II have the same toughness value of
5MPa m . If the box beam has already been subjected to a torque
T = 100kN m , estimate the maximum additional axial force N by using the
mixed mode fracture criterion.
Solution:
(1) Under the torque T
Without the crack, a constant shear flow in the thin wall is produced by the torque and
in the top panel the state of uniform stress would be

be approximated as a large panel subjected to a remote shear stress condition as
depicted in the figure below.

Solution:
By using Irwins plastic zone adjustment method, the fracture toughness can be

7.1 The truss structure consists of two bars connected by a pin-joint (which allows
free rotation of the bars). The other ends of the bars are hinged as shown in Fig.
7.26. A weight W is hung at the joint. Find the maximum weight the truss can
sustain before buckling occurs.

Only the compressed bar 13 may suffer buckling when the weight W increases. Since
bar 13 is connected with pin at both ends, its buckling load is

In this problem, the cross-sectional area is
A = 2(0.02)(0.002) + (0.04)(0.002) = 1.6 10 4 m 4
It is easy to verify that the centroid is located at mid point of the vertical web, and that
the shear center coincides with the centroid. The moments of inertia with respect to
the centroid and the coordinate system shown in the figure are

I yz = 2(0.02)(0.002)(0.01)(0.02) = 1.6 10 8 m 4
To determine the buckling load, the principal centroidal axes are used and its
corresponding moments of inertia are utilized in the equilibrium equations. The
moments of inertia about these principal axes can be found by solving the eigenvalue
problem, that is,
Iy I yz 4.269 1.6

I yz Iz 1.6 1.069
7.8.1
I 2 = 0.407 10 8 m 4
Because the shear center coincides with the centroid, the polar moment of inertia is
I 0 = I 1 + I 2 = 5.339 10 8 m 4
For the material of aluminum, Young's modulus is E = 70GPa and the shear
modulus is G = 27GPa .
For simply supported bar, the general solutions are given by (7.119) through (7.121)

7.9 Find the buckling load of a 1 m long and simply supported bar having a
thin-walled circular cross-section 50 mm in diameter and 2 mm wall thickness.
If the closed section is made into an open one by cutting a longitudinal slit over
the entire length of the bar, what is the buckling load? Assume that E = 70GPa
and G = 27GPa .
Solution:
The cross-sectional area can be obtained by assuming small thickness,
A 2at = 3.142 10 4 m 4
The centroid is located at center of the circular section, and that the shear center
coincides with the centroid. The moments of inertia with respect to the centroid are
I y = I z a 3t = 9.817 10 8 m 4
Because the shear center coincides with the centroid, the polar moment of inertia is
I 0 = I y + I z = 19.635 10 8 m 4
( P Pcr , z )C 2 = 0 (7.9.2)

0.05PC 2 + 0.000625( P 193065.6)C 3 = 0 (7.9.9)
Since (7.9.7) is not coupled with the other two equations, it can be solved individually
and the solution for nontrivial coefficients is
P = 67826 N
This is the buckling load for buckling about the y axis in which the cut lies in the
neutral plane of bending.
In order to have a nontrivial solution for (7.9.8) and (7.9.9), we require that
P 67826.2 0.05 P

=> 0.001875 P 2 + 163.051375 P 8184316 = 0
The possible lowest buckling load is Pcr = 35611 N . This buckling mode involves
coupled torsion and bending. Apparently, the thin-walled tube with a longitudinal cut
is weaker in buckling strength than the tube with a closed section.

If the maximum shear strength 12 = 100MPa of the composite is the only failure
condition, then the maximum shear load Nxy can be obtained as follows.
For [ 45]s laminate, 12 = 0 , then theoretically the laminate can carry unbounded
shear loads. In reality, of course, other failure mechanisms would take over, and result
in a finite maximum shear load.
