第一类曲线积分 设一条具有质量的空间曲线 L 上任一点 (, ,) x y z 处的线密度为 ρ (, ,) x y z 。将 L 分成 n 个小曲线段 Li = \,,2,1( ni ),并在 Li 上任取一点 ),,(ξ η ζ iii ,那么当每个Li的长度Δ si 都很小时,Li的质量就近似地等于 iiii ρ ξ η ζ ),,( Δs ,于是整条L的质量就近似地等于
Earlier looked at Simple Beam Theory in which one considers a beam in the x-z plane with the beam along the x-direction and the load in the z-direction Figure 14.1 Representation of Simple Beam Now look at a more general case Loading can be in any direction
