Shear Flow in Semi-monocoque Structures

The equation for shear flow in a particular web section of the cross-section of a semi-monocoque structure is:

where

q - the shear flow
Vy - the shear force perpendicular to the neutral axis x through the entire cross-section
Qx - the first moment of area about the neutral axis x for a particular web section of the cross-section
Ix - the second moment of area about the neutral axis x for the entire cross-section

    “The first principle of a free society is an untrammeled flow of words in an open forum.”
    —Adlai Stevenson (1900–1965)

    “If there are people who feel that God wants them to change the structures of society, that is something between them and their God. We must serve him in whatever way we are called.
