|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| inclined_surfaces | inclined_strips_alpha120 | alpha=120 deg: F12=1-sin(60°)=1-0.8660=0.1340. | F12=1-sin(60 deg)=1-sqrt(3)/2≈0.1340 | Two infinitely long equal-width strips sharing common edge inclined at alpha=120 deg | alpha_deg | 120 | 0.134 | Inclined strip 1 | Inclined strip 2 | 0.134 |
| inclined_surfaces | inclined_strips_alpha150 | alpha=150 deg: F12=1-sin(75°)=1-0.9659=0.0341. | F12=1-sin(alpha/2)=1-sin(75 deg)=1-0.9659=0.0341 | Two infinitely long equal-width strips sharing common edge inclined at alpha=150 deg | alpha_deg | 150 | 0.0341 | Inclined strip 1 | Inclined strip 2 | 0.0341 |
| inclined_surfaces | inclined_strips_alpha30 | alpha=30 deg: F12=1-sin(15°)=1-0.2588=0.7412. F21=F12 by symmetry. | F12=1-sin(alpha/2)=1-sin(15 deg) | Two infinitely long equal-width strips sharing common edge inclined at alpha=30 deg | alpha_deg | 30 | 0.7412 | Inclined strip 1 | Inclined strip 2 | 0.7412 |
