Location of elastic axis for uniform wing/beam

AI Thread Summary
The location of the elastic axis for a uniform rectangular wing or beam is typically at the mid-chord position. The mid-chord refers to the midpoint along the chord line, while the semi-chord is half of that distance. Understanding these definitions is crucial for analyzing the structural behavior of wings and beams. Participants in the discussion emphasize the importance of showing work before receiving feedback. Overall, the conversation centers on clarifying these concepts rather than providing direct answers.

Homework Statement



For a rectangular, uniform wing or beam, where would the location of the elastic axis be relative to the mid-chord position?
Also, what's the difference between semi-chord and mid-chord for a uniform rectangular wing?


Thanks in advance for any help,

Carl
