dc.description.abstract	A simple methodology for analysis of thin walled composite I-Beam subjected to free torsion and restrained torsion is developed. Classical Lamination Theory is extended from the laminate level to the structural level for analysis purpose.The developed expressions for shear center, equivalent torsional rigidity and equivalent warping rigidity for a composite mono-symmetric I-Beam depends on the material properties, ply stacking sequence, fiber orientation and geometryThe results from the proposed theory gives better agreement with the ANSYS<sup>TM</sup> results than the traditional smeared property approach.	en_US
