where: e=distance that S lies to the left of B,<br />

a=distance of midpoint of element from ss (taken positive),<br />

c=projection of b on an axis perpendicular to ss, taken positive if<br />

diverging from ss in the direction of flow, <strong>and</strong> negative if not,<br />

I ss =inertia of the whole section about ss.<br />

The summation is made for the elements lying above ss only.<br />

Having located S it is possible to find d <strong>and</strong> w m for the various elements,<br />

<strong>and</strong> hence obtain H from equation (10.29). Distance d is measured from<br />

the true axis of rotation (S), <strong>and</strong> w m is found from equation (10.26), putting<br />

w o =0. In calculating H the summation in equation (10.29) can be conveniently<br />

made for the elements on one side of ss <strong>and</strong> then doubled.<br />

Alternatively, H may be determined from the following equivalent<br />

expression, which avoids the need to find d <strong>and</strong> w m for the various<br />

elements:<br />

The summation is again just for the elements lying above ss.<br />

10.5.8 Monosymmetric sections, type 2<br />

(10.32)<br />

We now turn to monosymmetric sections in which the axis of symmetry ss<br />

lies along a central web (Figure 10.19), referred to as type 2. These require<br />

a modified treatment. The elements are again numbered on one side only<br />
