ABSTRACT

M, Ax, and IJ..<j>. Rather than use algebraic manipulation, it is more convenient to write the equations in matrix form and solve using a computer matrix solver. The matrix equation takes the form

1 -1 1 0 0 1 g b

(10)

Ax by { Ax1 + Axz} with appropriate coordinate system, and writing Eqs. (8) separately for each flange. This gives five equations, which can be solved for the five unknowns.
