Using Strain Energy to Find Deflection
Description
Castigliano's theorem uses strain energy to find deflection and rotation in elastic structures. Strain energy is the work done by external loads during elastic deformation. The theorem links that energy to the movement caused by the load.
The key idea is simple. The partial derivative of the tota...

Transcript
El teorema de Castigliano es útil para determinar desplazamientos y rotaciones en estructuras sometidas a deformaciones elásticas.
Establece que la derivada parcial de la energía elástica de deformación con respecto a una carga dada es equivalente al desplazamiento en el punto de aplicación de la carga particular.
Del mismo modo, s...
