Calculation of Boom Areas

A structure under flexural shear will also carry direct stress due to bending. In the idealised
structure the boom areas carry this direct stress. Their areas reflect the combined effects that
the skin or web, the flanges and longitudinal stiffeners (see Figs 7.25 and 7.29) have on
resisting bending. The following simplifications are made in idealising a structure
