Question

The shear flow in a thin walled single-closed section subjected to torque is defined by

• A. \(\frac{T}{t}\)
• B. \(A\)
• C. \(\frac{T\theta}{A_0}\)
• D. \(\frac{T}{2A}\)

Hint:

Shear flow is a function of torque and geometry in closed sections.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

For a thin-walled closed section, shear flow \( q = \frac{T}{2A} \), where \(T\) is torque and \(A\) is the enclosed area.
