Final Shear Flows (Fig. 3 plus Fig. 4).
Checking for horizontal force balance, it can be seen from Fig. 5 that the horizontal
shear flows in top and bottom skins cancel each other out:
FX =
0 N
(by observation)
Check for vertical force balance (shoud be equal to applied load V Z). Vertical force
is a sum of shear flows in web panels times the panel length:

Calculations of shear centre location, x' :

x' is the distance from the left end of beam to shear centre. The shear centre is found
by taking moments about upper left corner of the shear flow forces in Fig. 3 and Fig. 4
and equating to VZ x'.
