Part B - C Cia 1 Aeb4302

This document contains information about an aircraft structures examination, including 19 questions testing knowledge of shear centers, shear flow distributions, and other topics related to shear in thin-walled beams and open sections. Questions 16-19 require calculating and drawing shear flow distributions for box and multi-cell beams with given dimensions and loads. Questions 11-15 are shorter questions testing definitions and properties of shear centers and shear stress distributions in various cross-sectional geometries.
