SF_18

 

 

 

Function SF_18 provides the shape factor ([m] or [ft]) for a thin strip completely buried in a semi-infinite medium and parallel to the surface.

 

Inputs:

 w = depth of strip below surface ([m] or [ft])

 b = width of strip ([m] or [ft])

 L = length of strip ([m] or [ft])

 

Example:  SF =  SF_18(w, b, L)
