“yA TECHNOLOGY DEPARTMENT OF AEROSPACE ENGINEERING SECOND QUIZ, MARCH 2014 BTech, VI Semester AE324 AEROSPACE STRUCTURES II INDIAN INSTITUTE OF SPACE SCIENCE AND Date: 25-03-2014 Time: (9:00 AM — 10,00 AM Max. Marks: 15 a) b) °) a) N.B.: ‘Answer ALL Questions Answers to all parts of each question should be at one place State whether the following statements are true or false. If the statement is false, cite the reasons. Wrong answer carries negative mark, Fin of an aircraft provides contro! in yaw (rotation about vertical axes). In the case of an unsymmetrical bending, neutral axis need not pass through the centroid of the cross section. Shear strenth capacity of a rivet is more efficiently used in double cover butt joint than in a lap joint or single cover butt joint. T A beam, made up of an equal angle section and loaded along the span as shown in the figure 1, will undergo an usymmeteric bending. P- A shear load applied through the shear center of a thin walled cross section beam produce zero shear flow along the walls. A uniform thin walled beam has the open cross-section as shown in figure 2. The wall thickness 1 is constant. Calculate the position of neutral axis and maximum direct stress for a bending moment M,=3.Nm applied about the horizontal axis CX Take r= Smm, = 0.64mm A uniform thin walled beam of constant wall thickness ¢ has a cross section in the shape of isosceles triangle with a horizontal shear force ‘S,’ applied at the apex as shown in figure 3. Assuming that the direction of shear stress is according to the basic theory of bending, calculate the distribution of shear flow over the cross section, Illustrate the answer with a suitable sketch, marking in carefully with arrows the direction of the shear flows and noting the major values.
