where H x is the average axial strain, y i is the distance between fiber i and the average
fiber, I y and I z are the bending curvatures (I y = dT y /dx and I z = dT z /dx), I x = dT x /dx
is the unit angle for torsion, and J y and J z are average shear strains.
The bending moments M y ,
M z and the normal force N x are obtained by
integrating the axial strains i
