Abstract
Published solutions exist in terms of Schleicher functions to describe the bending characteristics of symmetrically tapered transition sections. Such solutions, however, are of limited application and generally prove too unwieldy for normal engineering design practices. These solutions are modified to describe the generalized behavior of an unsymmetrically tapered transition section and, for developing the Influence Coefficients, are reduced to digital computer programs for a 1620 IBM computer. Programs are written for transition sections ranging in length from short to semi-infinite and corresponding programs exist for determining the continuous stress distribution along such sections.
