On the St. Venant Flexure Problem for Cross Sections of a Series of Symmetrical Airfoils

This paper deals with the problem of flexure cantilever beam with a symmetrical airfoil cross.The loading is applide at the free end ai right angles to the plane of symmetrical as shown in fig.1.The material is assumed to be homegeneus and isotropic,and the body forces are assumed to be negligble.In general,such a beam will twist as bend.
