Abstract
In two recent notes Jacobs and Duncan considered the St. Venant torsion and flexure problems for beams of aerofoil cross section and have given methods for determining the centre of shear once the torsion function for the section has been found. The purpose of the present note is to give results for the location of the centre of shear for a limited range of cross sections bounded by two circular arcs for which the torsion function has long been known. The calculations shed some light on the relative influence of camber and thickness on the location of the centre of shear and are compared with the well known results for thin circular arc sections illustrated in the Structural Data Sheet 00.06.04.
