A thin-walled beam with open cross section and constant wall thickness t shown below is
subjected to shear loads S_(x), and S_(y) applied at the shear center. Determine:
a\xi _(c), and \eta _(c), respectivelyt≪a.
bx=s-(a)/(2)-\xi _(C), and y=-(a)/(2)-\eta _(C)
considering that the ( s -axis) origin is at the bottom open edge. Do similar units conversions
for the other faces (vertical and horizontal top) to apply to the integration terms on q_(s).
Hint 2: See the solution to example 17.1 from Megson.
c\xi _(s), and n_(s), respectivelyL from the wall, determine the normal stress \sigma _(z) at point
O , at a distance (L)/(2) from the rigid wall and draw the plane stress element at point O .
Be aware that the vertical and top plates both have a length of a
