Conservation of Energy (Elastic Material Behavior)

• When material is deformed by external loading, energy

is stored internally throughout its volume

• Internal energy is also referred to as strain energy

• Stress develops a force,

• Principle of virtual work - if a particle,

rigid body, or system of rigid bodies

which is in equilibrium under various

forces is given an arbitrary virtual

displacement, the net work done by the

external forces during that displacement

is zero.

• The principle of virtual work is particularly useful

when applied to the solution of problems involving

the equilibrium of machines or mechanisms consisting

of several connected members (system of connected rigid bodies)

As a result the deduction of exact force components in each

members are cumbersome and is made redundant by this method

as most of the components will have zero work and only a few

forces will produce non-zero work. These forces can be analyzed

in one go.

Forces which do no

work:

• Imagine the small virtual displacement of

particle which is acted upon by several forces.

• The corresponding virtual work,

Principle of Virtual Work:

• If a particle is in equilibrium, the total virtual work of forces

acting on the particle is zero for any virtual displacement.

• If a rigid body is in equilibrium, the total virtual work

of external forces acting on the body is zero for any

virtual displacement of the body.

• If a system of connected rigid bodies remains connected

during the virtual displacement, only the work of the

external forces need be considered.

Principle of Virtual Work

Applications of the Principle of Virtual Work • Determine the force of the vice on the

block for a given force P.

• Refer FBD, the work done by the

external forces for a virtual

displacement q. Only the forces P and

Q produce nonzero work. CBPQ yPxQUUU 0

• If the virtual displacement is consistent with the

constraints imposed by supports and connections,

only the work of loads, applied forces, and

friction forces need be considered.

• For an ideal machine without

friction, the output work is equal

to the input work.

• When the effect of friction is

considered, the output work is

reduced.

Castigliano’s Theorem on

Deflections

Based on Complimentary Energy Sometimes called “Principle of Complimentary Energy”

Castigliano’s Theorem on

Deflections If an elastic system is supported so that rigid-body displacements are prevented, and if certain concentrated forces of magnitudes (F1,F2,F3,…Fn) act on the system, in addition to distributed loads and thermal strains, the displacement component qi of the point of application of the force Fi, is determined by the equation:
