E=200GPa, v=0.3, t=10mm
Now x1,y1=10,20
x2,y2=70,20
x3,y3=40,60

β1=y2y3=2060=40
β2=y3y1=6020=40
β3=y1y2=2000=0

γ1=(x2x3)=(7040)=30
γ2=(x3x1)=(4010)=30
γ3=(x1x2)=(1070)=60

2A=|1x1y11x2y21x3y3|=|110201702014060|

=1(70604020)10(6020)+20(4070)
=3400400+(600)
2A=2400mm2

[B]=12A[β10β20β300γ10γ20γ3γ1β1γ2β2γ3β3]

[B]=12400[4004000003003006030403040600]

[B]=[0.016700.016700000.012500.012500.0250.01250.01670.01250.01670.0250]
