section. The effective cross-sectional area carrying the tension is A ; the chord-wise and
flap-wise moments of inenia are 1.. and 1,. . J is the torsional constant. which includes
cross-section warping. Without warping, J is the torsional rigidity. The tension asis
offset from the elastic axis is e ~R . is the warp fùnction and CI is the warping rigidity.
B i*, B2*, and Ci * are sectional constants, the first two of which are equivalent to those
used by Houbolt and Brooks (Ref. 15). A k,' is the polar moment of inenia.
Because of the anti-symmetric nature of the warping function, A, together with the
symmetry of the cross-section about the q axis, the following integrals vanish and, thus.
where
