The slope deflection method was originally proposed by Axel Bendixon and (a)   .

A fundamental assumption of the slope deflection method is that displacements and slopes are caused by (a)   only.

In the general slope deflection equation, the displacement fraction (Δ/L) inside the parentheses is multiplied by a factor of (a)   .
