1. (15 pts) An idealized box beam structure has a single-cell, closed cross-section, square shape. There are
four stiffeners. Note that the cross-sectional areas for the stiffeners are not all the same, as noted in the box
beside the figure. The thickness, t, of each web is the same. The location of the centroid has been computed
for you and is included in the figure.
a) (5 pts) Determine the area moments of inertia Iy, Iz and Iyz. Express them in terms of L, A, and/or t.
b) (10 pts) The location of the horizontal position of the shear center is defined by the parameter ‘d’ as
shown in the sketch below. Set up a system of equations that will permit solution of d, in terms of the given
geometry L, A, and/or t. These equations may involve only the geometric constants L, A, and/or t as well as
the vertical shear resultant V and the shear flows q1, q2, q3, and q4 (use nomenclature and sign conventions for
the shear flows given in the sketch). Simplify the equations appropriately. [Hint: you will need a system
of five equations.]
Note: you are not asked to solve the system of equation above.

2. (10 points) The stiffener has the shape shown in the figure. Note that the location of the centroid, C, is
given, as are the moments and product of inertia (you do not need to compute these!). The beam is loaded by
a bending moment resultant about the horizontal axis, Mz, of 50 kip-in, as shown in the sketch. There is no
moment resultant about the vertical axis.
a) (4 pts) Determine the orientation of the neutral axis, ϕ, and draw the neutral axis on the sketch below.
b) (6 pts) Determine the maximum compression stress on the cross-section. Report both a numerical value
of the stress, and state clearly where this maximum stress is found.
3. (11 pts) A sandwich beam is to be designed to support a design load P of 3.6 kN (this number includes
the relevant factor of safety) at a the midpoint between two roller supports one meter apart as shown in the
sketch. The following design choices have already been made:
• The beam width, b, is fixed at 50 mm.
• The core thickness is limited to a maximum of tc = 25 mm.
• Both faces are to have the same thickness.
• The core material with be HRH-10 Honeycomb with 1/8 inch cell size (Properties as given in the
following table). Assume these values are valid for any core thickness.
• Note that the relative weight of the core is indicated by “Density” in the honeycomb designation.
Thus, the cores are listed in order from lightest to heaviest.
a) (3 pts) Sketch V-M diagrams for the beam, and determine the maximum bending resultant and the
maximum shear resultant that the beam must support.
b) (4 pts) If the faces are to be made of Aluminum 2024-T4 with a yield strength of 325 MPa, determine
the minimum face thickness necessary based on yielding of the faces. Indicate the core thickness used.
c) (4 pts) Considering the shear strength of the core only, determine the lightest core material (give its
designation) acceptable for the case considered in part b. Justify your choice.

During flight of a small airplane the structure of the wing failed causing the wings to collapse and
the plane to crash. Which of the following is a possible cause of such an accident
(select all correct answers, there is more than one).
The pilot improperly applied the controls to command an angle of attack that the structure was
not designed to support at the given flight speed.
The pilot executed a stall at low flight speed
Undetected fatigue cracks grew in the wing due to poor maintenance practices
The aircraft encountered a gust more severe than what the wing was designed to tolerate

Acoustic loads may be a significant factor in the loading of a spacecraft. During which stage(s)

d) Immediately prior to orbital insertion

6. (12 pts) A rectangular rosette is placed on the surface of a part that can be assumed to be in a state of plane
stress. The material is isotropic with E = 70 GPa, ν = 0.3.
Given: the gages in the rosette read εa = 1100 μstrain, εb = 700 μstrain, εc = –300 μstrain, determine the full
six component states of stress and strain. Show work and put the results in the following table.
