SF_18

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)
