Hmmm.. I want to say "no" but I can also see that complicates the problem considerably, the axis of deflection is (I think) no longer in the direction of the load :-( Let's say "yes" for now and then if my brain doesn't explode trying to wrap itself around that problem I will try to tack...

So I am trying to figure out how I can calculate the deflection and ultimate bending moment capacity of a hollow tube beam when the hollow portion is not concentric. A regular concentric tube is easy enough but this has me out of my depth. I assume that it will no longer be symetric in its...
