p = w + g (4.183)

(For a circular cross-section microbridge, d should be employed instead
of w.) In the end, the number of stations becomes

c 2 1 1
n = í 2 ) (4.184)
w + g( 2 l max
l
min
for rectangular cross-section microbridges of widths w. For cylindrical
wires, w is simply replaced by d in Eq. (4.184). The constant c is
4 E
c =1.014t ȡ (4.185)

for rectangular cross-section members and

4 E
c =0.943d ȡ (4.186)

for circular cross-section (wire) members.
