Summary

An analysis is made of the general two-cell thin-walled cylindrical tube subjected to longitudinal tension, bending and torsion. The walls of the tube may be of fibre composite with an asymmetric lay-up resulting in a coupling between direct and shear stresses and strains. The two-cell tube differs from the single-cell tube in that the tension axis and the principal axes of bending are not necessarily aligned to the c.g. and the principal moments of inertia of the longitudinal stress bearing material.
