Aircraft Structures-II
Important 13mark questions
Unit I
1. A thin walled section shown in Fig is subjected to 𝑀𝑥 = 1500 N-m and 𝑀𝑦 = 500 N-
m where X and Y are centroidal axes of the section. Determine the bending
stresses at the indicated points using k-method.

2. Explain the method of determining the free-end deflection of a cantilever beam


subject to a tip concentrated moment 𝑀0 in a plane inclined at ∅ to the vertical
plane. The beam is uniform with an unsymmetrical cross-section.

Unit II
1. Derive an expression for shear flow in an arbitrary open section and how to modify
the results you obtained for the case of closed section.
2. Determine the shear center for the idealized section shown in fig. Assume the skin
is ineffective in bending and the section is subjected to upward shear force of 2000
N.

Unit III
1. Determine the shear flow pattern for the cell closed section shown in fig.

2. Determine the shear flow distribution in the cross-section shown in fig. where the
radius of the semi-circular part is 15 cm while wall thickness = 1.5 mm. The section
is subject to a downward shearing force of 160 𝑘𝑁 passing through the shear
center. Make the initial cut exactly at the mid-point of the vertical wall AC and
sketch the initial shear flow distribution first. Then determine 𝑞0 and plot the final
shear flow on a separate diagram
