MIT - 16.20 Fall, 2002 Before we look specifically at thin-walled sections, let us consider the general case (i.e., thick-walled). Hollow, thick-walled sections: Figure 12.1 Representation of a general thick-walled cross-section φ = C2 on one boundary φ= C1 on one boundary This has more than one boundary (multiply-connected) • dφ = 0 on each boundary • However, φ = C1 on one boundary and C2 on the other (they cannot be the same constants for a general solution [there’s no reason they should be]) => Must somehow be able to relate C1 to C2 Paul A.

MT-1620 al.2002 Notes 1. The resultant shear stresses at the boundary must be in the direction of the tangents to the boundary 2. The surface traction at the boundary is zero(stress free), but the resultant shear stress is not Figure 12.3 Representation of a 3-d element cut with one face at the surface of the body To prove Equation(12-1), begin by considering a small 3-D element from the previous figure Paul A Lagace @2001 Unit 12-4
