MECH 5603 Lightweight Structures
Prof.: Dr. Chad English
Date: 7th November 2013
INTRODUCTION
2
Goal: To Design A Box Beam With Cantilever Loading
To obtain various possible designs for the box beam
To shortlist all acceptable designs
To optimize the internal structure of final box beam with a view to maximize
load to weight ratio
To produce detailed manufacturing plan
To use load path/hand calculation to justify the choice of our design
3
PROJECT OBJECTIVES
4
Over the years, numerous researchers have
concluded that
A suspension bridge with tensioned cables is
much efficient (and lighter) than a truss bridge
with welded bars
Minimizing the weight of aircraft or its structures
provides better overall efficiency
A efficiently and intelligently designed structure
makes full use of available resources while
avoiding overdesigning and minimizing load to
weight ratio.

Shear Flow is maximum in web i.e
in element 17-18 & 8-9
Shear Flow is minimum in element
3-4, 4-5,12 13 &13=14
These conclusions are important
because it tells us where maximum
and minimum shear flow will occur
and accordingly we can strengthen
or optimize the area in our design.
Shear Flow Analysis of Box Beam
Mapping all results on box beam
12
Following factors were considered related to manufacturing:
Manufacturability of conceptual design.
Fasteners to be used. (Pop Rivets)
Manufacturing processes to be performed
Sequence of operations.
Manufacturing Considerations
The goal is to have a design which is efficient in terms of its structure and still possesses
enough strength to withstand the given load. However, it should also be feasible to
manufacture.

What Do We Have?
8ft X 4ft X 0.032” Sheet of 3003-H14 Aluminium
Angle of 1” X 1” X 0.0625”
50ft Long of Aluminium - 6061
All Dimensions are in inches
Box Beam which can sustain given loading condition

CONCLUSION
The final design will chosen only after considering all the factors presented here which
means we will make sure that our final design is efficient in terms of load path and
overall weight of the design and that it is feasible to manufacture it.
