The cross section of an extruded beam is symmetric with respect to the x axis and consists of several straight segments as shown. Write a computer program that, for loads and dimensions expressed in either SI or U.S. customary units, can be used to determine
(a) the location of the shear center O,
(b) the distribution of shearing stresses caused by a vertical force applied at O. Use this program to solve Prob. 6.70.
Prob. 6.70
Determine the location of the shear center O of a thin-walled beam of uniform thickness having the cross section shown.
