For a thin-walled section shown in the figure, points P, Q, and R are located on the major bending axis X−X of the section. Point Q is located on the web whereas point S is located at the intersection of the web and the top flange of the section.
Qualitatively, the shear center of the section lies at
The steel angle section shown in the figure has elastic section modulus of 150.92 cm3 about the horizontal X−X axis, which passes through the centroid of the section.
The shape factor of the section is ______ (rounded off to 2 decimal places).
A linearly elastic beam of length 2l with flexural rigidity EI has negligible mass. A massless spring with a spring constant k and a rigid block of mass m are attached to the beam as shown in the figure.
The natural frequency of this system is
A homogeneous, prismatic, linearly elastic steel bar fixed at both the ends has a slenderness ratio (l/r) of 105, where l is the bar length and r is the radius of gyration. The coefficient of thermal expansion of steel is $12 \times 10^{-6}$ $^{\circ}$C. Consider the effective length of the steel bar as $0.5l$ and neglect the self-weight of the bar.
The differential increase in temperature (rounded off to the nearest integer) at which the bar buckles is
