Extract

The number of available exact solutions to the St. Venant flexure problem is limited, but there are some simple solutions which appear to have been overlooked. The sections covered are a wedge, a double wedge, a biconvex section, and an aerofoil-type section. All the solutions given are restricted to certain values of Poisson's ratio, depending on the section.

The components of shear stress parallel and perpendicular to the direction of loading are given by:
