Section 70

(ll The factor Pi shall be calculated according to paragraph (a} as appro-priate, using the following notations 593

x1

the distance from the aft terminal of Ls to the foremost portion of the aft end of the compartment being considered;

x2

the distance from the aft terminal of Ls to the aftermost portion of the forward end of the compartment being considered;

El xl/Ls

Ez x2/Ls

E

E1 + E2 - 1

J

Ez

El

J'

J-E, if E ~ 0

J'

J + E, if E < 0

The maximum non-dimensional damage length

Jmax = 48/Ls, but not more than 0.
