Hey dman, nice work,
ready for some thought?
not to pick any fights but i like talking about "theory". I understand your frame cutting theory and understand that is what some schools teach BUT i look at it a little differntly. I look at it like a bridge Now think of the top, bottom and sides as paper.
There is pull on the bottom and rip on the sides. Most trailer beams get holes cut in the sides to remove weight. Its just like a bridge truss. Load is placed on the top, pushes down and pulles apart on the bottom (this is not considering side loads) now all the sides do is hold the two together. See what i am saying? Now for the paper part. Take a stickey note grasp between thumb and pointer, try PULLING it apart holding in the center. Cant do it. This is the bottom web. NOW take the same paper and grasp on the edge and it will rip, thus this is the side web when force is applied....
some thing to think about.
