What is the shear flow equation for the lower horizontal bar in a hat section?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on determining the shear flow equation for the lower horizontal bar of a hat section. A user is confused about whether to define the shear flow as Vx/Iy * 3 * s^2 * 0.5 after integration or to consider the entire x part affected by the force Vx. The term "x function" is referenced as a variable of s, indicating a need for clarity in its definition. The conversation highlights the importance of correctly applying shear flow principles in structural analysis. Accurate interpretation of these equations is essential for solving related engineering problems.

Homework Statement


I've a problem with defining x function for the lower horizontal bar on the left hand side. Is it shear flow for this part = Vx/Iy * 3 * s^2 * 0.5 (after integration) ? Or should I take whole x part on which is acting force Vx?
