    Cross Shear
AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on locating the shear center of specific cross sections provided via links. The primary equation used is τ=VQ/IT, which relates shear stress to shear force and geometric properties. The first section's solution involves calculating the moment and shear force, while the second section presents challenges, particularly with the circular part. The approach for the circular section includes considering radius angles and elemental lengths of the circumference. Clarification on starting points and methodologies for both sections is sought.

For the circular part, consider a radius angle theta with the horizontal. Then consider an elemental length of the circumference delta s subtending an angle delta theta at the centre.
