Restrained Torsion of Thin-walled Box Beam with Honeycomb Core

Restrained torsion of thin-walled box beam with honeycomb core is analyzed on the basis of rigid profile assumption. The method of variable separation is applied and two ordinary differential governing equations are established and solved. The boundary conditions are satisfied rigorously and the solutions are expressed by means of eigen function expansions. The diagram of torque is formulated by trigonometric series and used to determine the coefficients in above expansions. The results of computation provide the chord-wise and span-wise distributions of normal and shear stress in the face plate along with shear stress in the honeycomb core.
