Problem $2$

Consider the thin$-$walled member shown. All walls

have a thickness of $t$ and $tb,h_1,h_2.$ The member

carries a vertical shear force of $V_y.$

$($a$)$ Determine the shear flows in all segments of the

thin$-$walled member.

$($b$)$ Determine the location $e$ of the shear center

$($point $O)$ for the thin$-$walled member.

Partial Answers: If $h_1=2h_2,$ then $e=\frac{8}{9}b.$
