Principle of Virtual Work and Minimum Potential Energy (P.E.)   Introduction: The Total Potential Energy is nothing but the energy due to Strain Energy (internal work done) and Work potential of a force (external work done).   Theorem of P.E.: Of all the displacements satisfying given Boundary conditions and Equilibrium conditions, the actual displacement is … Read more
