Structural Shear Analysis: A Full Iteration Approach

Solving the previous example from full iteration

 

Now it’s time to solve the previous example from full iteration. For simplicity, interaction with flexure is not considered. In other words, it is assumed that the status is in a pure shear condition which rarely exists in the real world.
