Analytical solution of restrained torsional stresses and displacement for rectangular-section box bar with hontycomb core

Abstract

Differential equation of restrained torsion for rectangular-section box bar with honeycomb core was established and solved by using the method of undetermined function. Non-dimension normal stress, shear stress acting in the faceplate and shear stress acting in the honeycomb-core and warping displacement were deduced. Numerical analysis shows the normal stress attenuates quickly along x-axis. Normal stress acting on the cross section at a distance of 20 h from the fixed end is only one per cent of that acting on the fixed end.
