3.5 Steering column mount The steel steering column mounting bean extends from side to side with end conditions unconstrained for warping. A torque is applied to the beam at the steering column location. a) Determine rotation at the point of load application under 0.5 kNm torque with a closed section. b) Determine the rotation at the point of load application under 0.5 kNm torque when the section contains narrow slit (unrestrained warping). 1.4 m 0.4m CED Torque applied by steering column mount 100 mm equilateral triangle 1.5 mm thick (a) A. Narrow slit (b) Exercise 3.5 3.5 Steering column mount The steel steering column mounting bean extends from side to side with end conditions unconstrained for warping.
