It is noted that the sign of ys is positive and ay is negative as shown in
Fig. 7-2. It should be noted that the position of the transverse load ay affects the
lateral-torsional buckling strength significantly. When the load is applied at the
upper flange, it tends to increase the positive rotation of the cross section as
shown in Fig. 7-2, thereby lowering the critical load. This could result in
a significantly lower critical value than that when the load is applied at or below
the shear center. Although the difference in the critical values is gradually
decreasing following the increase of the span length, the position of the
transverse load should be properly reflected whenever it is not negligibly small.
The first term of Eq. (7.2.2) can be expanded by integration by parts
using the relationships that can be derived from Fig. 7-3.

The term d2 ys =dz2 represents the curvature in the yz plane; all deformations
being small, the curvatures in other planes may be related as a vectorial sum
indicated in Fig. 7-4 (it can also be seen from Fig. 7-1, ys v cos f u sin f)
