Error in Equations and Table

In the original publication [1], there were mistakes in Equations (22), (23), (58) and (59) and Table 1 as published.

D_{S t}

should be added in Equations (22) and (23),

{∆ φ}_{P M G A}

should be changed to

{∆ φ}_{P M A G}

in Equation (58), and

k_{α P}

should be deleted in Equation (59). In Table 1, the last row’s suggested range and value were incorrectly filled as 0.1–0.2 and 2, whereas it should have been 0.01–0.02 and 0.02. The corrected Equations (22), (23), (58) and (59) and Table 1 appear below.

Equation (22):

W_{S t} = D_{S t} \cdot \tan \frac{θ_{S t}}{2}

Equation (23):

W_{t} = D_{S t} \cdot \tan \frac{α_{S} - θ_{S t}}{2}

Equation (58):

B_{S y} = B_{P M} \cdot \frac{\frac{W_{P M}}{2}}{h_{S y}} \cdot {∆ φ}_{A G A} \cdot {∆ φ}_{P M A G}

Equation (59):

B_{S t} = B_{P M} \cdot \frac{W_{P M}}{\frac{N_{S}}{P} \cdot W_{t}}
