5. Obtain the bending stress by resolving along two rectangular axes passing thro centroid. As shown in Figure 5. [16]

Figure 5 6. Derive the internal shear ow system and twist for the following section subjected to 20,000 N-Cm. Assume shear modulus, G = 20 GPa. Assume thickness = 1 mm. As shown in Figure 6. [16]

Figure 6 7. Determine the location of neutral axis, shear ow and shear center for the following open wall section, for an applied load of 1000 N in Y - axis. As shown in Figure 7. [16]

Figure 7 8. Figure 8 shows the cross - section of a single cell, thin walled beam with horizontal axis of symmetry. The direct stresses are carried by booms B1 to B4, walls are eective only in carrying shear stresses. Assuming that the basic theory of bending 2 of 3
