Problem 2: Calculate the torsional stiffness of the following semi-monocoque section: DATA E = 70000 N/mm ; J = 500000 mm 4; A = 8000 mm 2 for all the sections F = 2000 N ; W = 650 Nm L1 = 0.5 m ; L 2 = L 3 = 1.2 m ; F W δ L1 L2 L3 #1 #2 #3 [ ]                                 − −−− − − − − = l EJ l EJ l EJ l EJ l EJ l EJ l EJ l EJ l EA l EA l EJ l EJ l EJ l EJ l EJ l EJ l EJ l EJ l EA l EA K 460260 612 0612 0 0000 260460 612 0612 0 0000 22 2323 22 2323 q1 DATA A = 4000 mm 2 for all the stringers t1 = t2 = t 3 = t 4 = 10mm t5 = t 6 = 15 mm R1 = 1400 mm R2 = 1800 mm q2 q3 q4 q5 q6 R1 R2
