A.1.1.3 Boundary conditions

(1) The rules given here are strictly applicable to cylinders with fixed end boundary conditions BC1r. Cylinders with BC1f may also be treated if the dimensionless length ω is greater than 5.

A.1.1.4 Loading conditions

(1) The following rules apply to uniform global bending characterized by the moment M (Figure E.1).
