Design Equations for RCC Device<br />

Earlier attempts at solving the RCC location and stiffness were not very<br />

successful due to approximations (Whitney and co-workers).<br />

Conical symmetry<br />

Using conical symmetry and centers, the location <strong>of</strong> RCC and stiffnesses<br />

are determined without approximations.<br />
