Shear Centre in an Asymmetrical Section
Shear Centre in an Asymmetrical Section
(OP)
Hello fellow members,
I am working on the analysis of a section subjected to bending, shear and axial, torsion. The section is asymmetric about both the axes. I would like to know is there any method to calculate shear centre by hand calculations similar to the way we calculate moment of inertia? If the section is symmetric about at least one axis, it would not be a tough task. Please suggest me some references/ methodology, I would be grateful. Please find attached typical section.

If one can assume the section to be thin-walled then most books on aircraft structural analysis will describe the methodology. "Aircraft Structures for Engineering Students" by by T.H.G. Megson has a good section on this.

Aeronautical engineering covers many disciplines, and practitioners of each discipline have their own technical bibles. Only believers in "structuralism" use Bruhn's testament.

You, too, RB1957 - darn you both to heck.
... now a little more seriously...
Hello again Istambul,
While we have been kidding amongst ourselves, I would like to know if you have tackled the shear center problem.
Do you have access to a copy of Bruhn? Are you already familiar with it or are you new to it - Bruhn can be dauntingly old-fashioned.

Thanks you all for your suggestions! I could able to get hold of Bruhn and solved it. Once again thank you all!

Oh, is that what Bruhn was doing! I thought it was just a case of the worst editor, ever.
