This two-part contribution presents a novel theory of bending of thin-walled beams with influence of shear (TBTS). The theory is valid for general open thin-walled cross-sections. The loads are reduced to the cross-section principal pole, i.e. the cross-section shear center. In part I, the TBTS is established, in this part II, the theory is used to analyze various beam cross-section shapes, loads and boundary conditions. Beams with the extreme low ratios of beam length to beam cross-section contour dimensions are analyzed. The stress predictions of the TBTS, stresses as functions of the longitudinal coordinate as well as the cross-section curvilinear coordinate, are compared to those obtained by finite elements computations (FEM) as well as to exact solutions of the theory of elasticity. The results of the TBTS are given in closed analytic forms, i.e. parametric forms, suitable for general studies of thin-walled beam behavior under transvers bending loads, as well in the early design stage of thin-walled structures.
