- AO 3 xy 3 z 3 is the solving system, in which the effective degrees of freedom are mutuallyorthogonal and the force quantities can be computed independently from the active loads.For this cross-section the sectorial area at the wall mid-lines is zero, without lateral supports,for the arm h s (s) of a parallel to s unit vector i ( s) around the pole A is zero for all s:h s (s) ≡ 0 , ~ ω () s ≡ 0 (7)This ful<strong>fi</strong>ls at the non-compressible axes the condition ~ ω ( s ) ~1= ω ( s2 ) = 0 . For the solvingsystem AO 3 xy 3 z 3 the pole is still at the corner A and sectorial area is zero:a y3 − a y0 = 0 , a z3 − a z0 = 0 , ω 3 (s) ≡ 0 (8)The guided origin of the solving system is placed at the intersectional point O 3 of thestraight line between the non-compressible axes with the normal drawn to this line throughthe centroid. In this system the cross-sectional integrals are expressed below. The subscriptzero ( 0 ) refers to the centroidal system AOxyz, parallel to the solving system.6 5 3 3 5 6ta ( + 4ab+ 6ab + 4ab + b)I v3 = I v0 =2 212( a + b )( a+b)I w0 = ta 2 b 2( a + b )2 212( a + b )I w3 = I w0 + Ah 2 /4 = ta 2 b 2( a + b )2 2+ ta 2 b 2( a + b )2 212( a + b ) 4( a + b )s= ta 2 b 2( a + b )2 23( a + b )= ta 2 b 2( a + b )23cI vw3 = I vw0 = tab ( a 3 − b 3 )2, S w3 = − Ah/2 = − tab ( a + b ), S v3 = 0 (12),(13),(14)12c2cThe model of the quarter of the box beam as a guided Vlasov beam on elastic foundationThe functioning of the upper left corner part of the box beam of <strong>fi</strong>gure 1 with its effectivedegrees of freedom can be modelled as a guided Vlasov beam in <strong>fi</strong>gure 3. The active degreesof freedom of the cross-section are the deflection of some pole A 5 of the axis w 5 andthe angle of twist . In the reality the centre B of the box beam, in <strong>fi</strong>gure 3 the point A 4 , hasno deflections due torsion or distortion, but in the analogy with the Vlasov BEF (beam onelastic foundation) it has a motion v 4 (x) normal to the guided neutral line w 4 (P 1 P 2 ). Indirection w it is <strong>fi</strong>xed both in the model and the reality. The corner A, the concentrationaxis of the loads q D and q T , has deflections as if the part beam with rigid-in-plane crosssectionwere supported according to <strong>fi</strong>gure 3.If the shear deformation γ * (x) were neglected at the pro<strong>fi</strong>le line like usually is supposedfor the usual sectorial areaγ xs (x,s) = 0 , (15)it would not be possible for a beam of <strong>fi</strong>gure 3 to twist at all, except if the parallel to P 1 P 2plane support passed through corner A of the cross-section. That is to say it is not possibleto draw any usual sectorial area ω 5 (s) − ω 5 (s 01 ) around any pole axis A 5 in the supportplane w 5 so that it were zero in the same time at both non-compressible axes:u(x,s 01 ) = u(x,s 02 ) = 0 (16)(9)(10)(11)
