Option 2 : Concentrated load on the mid span of a simply supported beam.
Concept:
The principle of virtual work for deformable bodies says that the external virtual work applied to a structure must equal the internal virtual work that is caused within the structure, Wv,e = Wv,i
External Virtual Work = Internal Virtual Work
Virtual External Forces× Real external deflections = Virtual Internal forces × Real Internal Deformations
| Reaction at smooth pins and hinges which do not move | Displacement = 0, no work done by real forces |
| Concentrated load on the mid-span of a simply supported beam | |
| Tension in a light inextensible string | Inextensible string makes axial deformation = 0 |
| Forces normal to the direction of displacement. | Work done in displacement perpendicular to force = 0 |
