The independent results are hand calculated using the unit load method described on page 244 in Cook and Young 1985. In addition, the torsional stiffness of the section, J, is calculated using item 4 in Table 20 on page 290 in Roark and Young 1975. Independent results are also published in MacNeal and Harder 1985.
