--1.a) Derive the Governing differential equation for a simply supported thin rectangular
plate subjected to distributed transverse load of intensity q per unit area.
b) A plate of 10 mm thickness is subjected to bending moment Mx = 10 Nm / mm
and My = 5 Nm / mm. Find the maximum twisting moment per unit length in the

An I section total height 300 mm total flange width 200 mm, and thickness
20 mm for Flange and 25 mm for web is subjected to a negative bending moment
of 100 KN/m applied in a vertical plane. Determine the distribution of direct
stress through the depth of the section.

The thin-walled single cell beam shown in Figure has been idealized into a
combination of direct stress-carrying booms and shear-stress-only-carrying walls.
If the section supports a vertical shear load of 10kN acting in a vertical plane
through booms 3 and 6, calculate the distribution of shear flow around the section.
Boom areas: B1=B8=200mm2, B2=B7=250mm2, B3=B6=400mm2, B4= B5=100mm2.

Eplain shear lag that poses problems in the analysis of wide, shallow, thin
walled beams.
Discuss shear stress distribution of a closed section beam built-in at one end and
subjected to bending.
[6+9]
A wing spar has the dimensions shown in Fig. below and carries a uniformly
distributed load of 15 kN/m along its complete length. Each flange has a crosssectional area of 500mm2 with the top flange being horizontal. If the flanges are
assumed to resist all direct loads while the spar web is effective only in shear,
determine the flange loads and the shear flows in the web at sections 1 and 2m
from the free end.

i) Fuselage frames
ii) Wing ribs.
