Torsion of beams of L-cross-section
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 18 May 2009
Extract
The torsion of beams of L-cross-section was studied for the first time, from a mathematical standpoint, by Kotter [1]. He solved the problem in the case of an L-section both arms of which are infinite. Some time later, Trefftz [2], in his work on the torsion of beams of polygonal cross-section, applied his method also to an infinite L-section. In 1934, Seth [3] solved the case of a beam of an L-section with only one infinite arm. In 1949, Arutyanyan [4] solved the torsion problem of an L-section that has both arms finite, but of equal length, reducing the problem to that of solving an infinite system of equations.
