(a) A thin-walled two cell wing section with dimensions as shown in Fig. Q2(a) is clamped at one end and loaded by a torque of 2000Nm at its free end. The structure is made of Aluminium having shear modulus \(\mathbf{G}=\mathbf{28 G P a}\) and shear strength of 200MPa. The skin thicknesses are 1 mm for sides 2-1,1-6,6-5; 2 mm for sides 5-4,4-3,2-3 and 3 mm for wall 5-2.
Fig. Q2(a)
(i) Determine the shear flow in each of the walls of the section.
(12 marks)
(ii) Determine the shear stress in each of the walls of the section, and also determine if the strength condition is satisfied when a safety factor of 1.5 is considered. What is the maximum torque the structure can safely withstand?
(iii) Determine the twist angle at the free end of the structure for the torque of 2000Nm.
