Extract

Many writers have studied special cases of the Saint-Venant torsion and flexure problem for an isotropic beam of constant cross-section. An excellent summary of this work has been given by Stevenson (4) who also greatly extended the field of application of the theory by showing that the general Saint-Venant problem can be reduced to the solution of boundary problems involving six simple ‘canonical’ flexure functions. Miss Rosa Morris (2, 3) has applied the Saint-Venant theory, as extended by Stevenson, to the solution of the flexure and torsion problem for beams possessing two fairly general types of cross-section, her results including many previous solutions as special cases.
