Abstract

It is important to find the shear center of beam with arbitrary cross-section in structures. In this study, it is introduced to determine the shear center that gets the equivalent stiffness matrix representing arbitrary cross section of beam and applies concepts of equivalent energy. This method shows the results of applying on examples that the exact and approximate solution of open and cross section of beam is known. The shear center of composite rotor blade by the experiment and by the suggested method was compared in this study.
