innerFractionreadonlyFloat64ArrayRadius of shell i's inner boundary, as a fraction of the characteristic depth.
areaFactorreadonlyFloat64ArrayArea of that boundary, as a fraction of the exposed surface area.
thicknessFractionreadonlyFloat64ArrayShell i's own thickness, as a fraction of the characteristic depth. These sum to one.
depthFactorreadonlynumberCharacteristic depth is this times volume over area: 1 for a slab, 2 for a cylinder, 3 for a sphere. It is what makes V/A mean "half-thickness" for a cylinder and "a third of the radius" for a sphere, which is the same relation fire engineering uses.
