1 METHOD OF EAST WORK 91 METHOD OF EAST WORK CHAPTER TWO The method of least work is used for the analysis of statically indeterminate beams, frames and trusses. Indirect use of the Castigliano s nd theorem is made and the following steps are taken. (1) The structure is considered under the action of applied loads and the redundants. The redundants can be decided by choosing a particular basic determinate structure and the choice of redundants may vary within a problem. () Moment expressions for the entire structure are established in terms of the applied loads and the redundants, which are assumed to act simultaneously for beams and frames. (3) Strain energy stored due to direct forces and in bending etc. is calculated and is partially differentiated with respect to the redundants. (4) A set of linear equations is obtained, the number of which is equal to that of the redundants.solution of these equations evaluates the redundants. NOTE: Special care must be exercised while partially differentiating the strain energy expressions and compatibility requirements of the chosen basic determinate structure should also be kept in mind. For the convenience of readers, Castigliano s theorem are given below:.1. CASTIGIANO S FIRST THEOREM: The partial derivative of the total strain energy stored with respect to a particular deformation gives the corresponding force acting at that point. Mathematically this theorem is stated as below: U = P and U θ = M It suggests that displacements correspond to loads while rotations correspond to moments... CASTIGIANO S SECOND THEOREM : The partial derivative of the total strain energy stored with respect to a particular force gives the corresponding deformation at that point. Mathematically, and U P = U M = θ

2 9 THEORY OF INDETERMINATE STRUCTURES.3. STATEMENT OF THEOREM OF EAST WORK. In a statically indeterminate structure, the redundants are such that the internal strain energy stored is minimum. This minima is achieved by partially differentiating strain energy and setting it to zero or to a known value. This forms the basis of structural stability and of Finite Element Method..4. Example No.1: 1st Degree Indeterminacy of Beams. Analyze the following loaded beam by the method of least work. Ma A wkn/m x B Ra Number of reactions = 3 n Number of equations = Rb The beam is redundant to first degree. In case of cantilever, always take free end as the origin for establishing moment expressions. Choosing cantilever with support at A and Rb as redundant. Apply loads and redundant simultaneously to BDS. Ma A WwKN/m x B Ra Rb Taking B as origin (for variation of X) M X = RbX wx 0 < X < 1 U = M EI dx. o A generalized strain energy expression due to moments. Therefore, partially differentiating the strain energy stored w.r.t. redundant, the generalized form is: U R = 1 M M dx Where R is a typical redundant. EI R o Putting moment expression alongwith its limits of validity in strain energy expression. 1 U = RbX wx dx EI o Partially differentiate strain energy U w.r.t. redundant Rb, and set equal to zero. U So Rb = b = 0 = 1 RbX wx (X) dx, because at B, there should be no deflection. EI o

Now calculate Ra. Ra + Rb = w Ra = w Rb = w 3 8 w = 8 w 3 w 8 Ra = 5 8 w Put X = and Rb = 3 8 w in moment expression for M X already established before to get Ma. Ma = 3 8 w. w = 3 8 w w = 3 w 4 w 8 Ma = w 8 The ( ve) sign with Ma indicates that this reactive moment should be applied such that it gives us tension at the top at point A.

Ma = 3 P 16 The ( ve) sign with Ma indicates that this reactive moment should be acting such that it gives us tension at the top..5. ND DEGREE INDETERMINACY: EXAMPE NO. 3: Analyze the following fixed ended beam loaded by Udl by least work method. Ma A WwKN/m B Mb Ra Rb B.D.S. is chosen as a cantilever supported at A.

Now differentiate strain energy expression w.r.t. another redundants Mb. Use castigations theorem and boundary condition. U Mb = θb = 0 = 1 EI o RbX wx Mb ( 1) dx 0 = 1 EI o RbX + wx + Mb dx 0 = 1 EI RbX + wx3 + MbX 6 o 0 = Rb + w3 6 + Mb. Rb w3 6 = Mb So Mb = Rb w 6 () Put Mb in equation 1, we get 0 = Rb3 3 w4 8 Rb w 6

7 METHOD OF EAST WORK 97 0 = Rb3 3 w4 8 Rb3 4 + w4 1 0 = Rb3 1 w4 4 Put Rb value in equation, we have Mb = w w 6 Rb = w Mb = +w 1 The (+ve) value with Rb and Mb indicates that the assumed directions of these two redundants are correct. Now find other reactions Ra and Mb by using equations of static equilibrium. Ra + Rb = w Ra = w Rb = w w Ra = w Put X =, Rb = w & Mb = w 1 in M X expression to get Ma Ma = w. w w 1 Ma = w 1 The ( ve) sign with Ma indicates that this moment should be applied in such direction that it gives us tension at the top. Example No. 4: Solve the same previous fixed ended beam by taking a simple beam as B.D.S.: Choosing Ma and Mb as redundants. A Ma WwKN/m x B Mb Ra BDS UNDER OADS AND REDUNDANTS B.D.S. is a simply supported beam, So Ma and Mb are redundants. Rb

Now calculate Ra. Ra + Rb + Rc = w or Ra = w Rb Rc. Put values of Rb and Rc from above and simplify.

Put values of Rb and Rc from above and simplify. = 11 w w w Ma = w Ma = 7 39 w The ( ve) sign with Ma indicates that this reactive moment should be applied in such a direction that gives us tension at the top. Now the beam has been analyzed and it is statically determinate now..7. INTERNA INDETERMINACY OF STRUCTURES BY FORCE METHOD : The question of internal indeterminacy relates to the skeletal structures like trusses which have discrete line members connected at the ends. The structures which fall in this category may include trusses and skeletal frames. For fixed ended portal frames, the question of internal indeterminacy is of theoretical interest only. 1 Relative displacement of horizontal number = Consider he truss shown in the above diagram. If this truss is to be treated as internally indeterminate, more than one members can be considered as redundants. However, the following points should be considered for deciding the redundant members. (1) The member which is chosen the redundant member is usually assumed to be removed or cut. The selection of redundant should be such that it should not effect the stability of the remaining structure.

13 METHOD OF EAST WORK 103 () The skeletal redundant members will have unequal elongations at the two ends and in the direction in which the member is located. For example, if a horizontal member is chosen as redundant, then we will be concerned with the relative displacement of that member in the horizontal direction only. (3) Unequal nodal deflection ( 1 ) of a typical member shown above which is often termed as relative displacement is responsible for the self elongation of the member and hence the internal force in that member FIRST APPROACH: WHEN THE MEMBER IS REMOVED : With reference to the above diagram, we assume that the redundant member (sloping up to left) in the actual structure is in tension due to the combined effect of the applied loads and the redundant itself. Then the member is removed and now the structure will be under the action of applied loads only. B Apart Together B 1 B C A D Due to the applied loads, the distance between the points B and D will increase. et us assume that point B is displaced to its position B. This displacement is termed as apart. Now the same structure is considered under the action of redundant force only and let us assume that point B comes to its position B 1 (some of the deflections have been recovered). This displacement is termed as together. The difference of these two displacements ( apart together) is infact the self lengthening of the member BD and the compatibility equation is apart together = self elongation..7.. ND APPROACH We assume that the member is infact cut and the distance between the cut ends has to vanish away when the structure is under the action of applied loads and the redundant. In other words, we can say that the deformation produced by the applied loads plus the deformation produced by the redundant should be equal to zero. B C B C 1 1 A D A D F-Diagram U-Diagram

14 104 THEORY OF INDETERMINATE STRUCTURES Total Deflection produced by redundants R = n i = 1 U i i X AiEi n FiUii Total Deflection produced by loads = i = 1 AiEi If deflection is (+ve), there is elongation. If deflection is ( ve), there is shortening. Now U = P Elastic strain energy stored due to axial forces AE P AE PROOF: Work done = 1/ P. = shaded area of P diagram. Now f α (Hooke s aw) P or P A α P A = E = P AE (For direct stresses) where E is Yung s Modulus of elasticity. Therefore work done = P = 1 P P. AE ( Shaded area under P line By putting value of ) Work done = P AE Work done = P AE (for single member) (for several members) We know that Work done is always equal to strain energy stored.

24 114 THEORY OF INDETERMINATE STRUCTURES.8. STEPS FOR TRUSS SOUTION BY METHOD OF EAST WORK. Now instead of Unit load method, we shall solve the previous truss by direct use of method of least work. (1) Consider the given truss under the action of applied loads and redundant force X in member U 1 () The forces in the relevant rectangle will be a function of applied load and redundant force X. (As was seen in previous unit load method solution) (3) Formulate the total strain energy expression due to direct forces for all the members in the truss. (4) Partially differentiate the above expressions with respect to X. (5) Sum up these expressions and set equal to zero. Solve for X. (6) With this value of X, find the member forces due to applied loads and redundant acting simultaneously (by applying the principle of super positions).

There can be two approaches, viz, considering two suitable members as redundants and secondly taking one member and one reaction as redundants for which the basic determinate structure can be obtained by cutting the diagonal CE and replacing it by a pair of forces X 1 X 1 and replacing the hinge at F by a roller support with a horizontal redundant reaction HF = X.

If solution is correct, equilibrium checks will be satisfied at all joint. Joint o Sinθ = = 0 0 = = 0 0 = 0 OK. Results seem to be correct. The credit for developing method of least work goes to Alberto Castiglianos who worked as an engineer in Italian Railways. This method was presented in a thesis in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the award of diploma engineering of associate engineer. He published a paper for finding deflections which is called Castiglianos first theorem and in consequence thereof, method of least work which is also known as Castiglianos second theorem. Method of least work also mentioned earlier in a paper by an Italian General Menabrea who was not able to give a satisfactory proof. eonard Euler had also used the method about 50 years ago for derivation of equations for buckling of columns wherein, Daniel Bernolli gave valuable suggestion to him. Method of least work or Castiglianos second theorem is a very versatile method for the analysis of indeterminate structures and specially to trussed type structures. The method does not however, accounts for erection stresses, temperature stresses or differential support sinking. The reader is advised to use some other method for the analysis of such indeterminate structures like frames and continuos beams. It must be appreciated in general, for horizontal and vertical indeterminate structural systems, carrying various types of loads, there are generally more than one structural actions present at the same time including direct forces, shear forces, bending moments and twisting moments. In order to have a precise analysis all redundant structural actions and hence strain energies must be considered which would make the method laborious and cumbersome. Therefore, most of engineers think it sufficient to consider only the significant strain energy. The reader should know that most of structural analysis approaches whether classical or matrix methods consider equilibrium of forces and displacement/strain compatibility of members of a system.

53 METHOD OF EAST WORK 143 The basis of the method of consistent deformation and method of least work are essentially the same. In consistent deformation method, the deformation produced by the applied loads are equated to these produced by the redundants. This process usually results in the evolution of redundants. However, in the method of least work, total strain energy expression of a structural system in terms of that due to known applied loads and due to redundants is established. Then the total strain energy is partially differentiated with respect to redundant which ultimately result in the evolution of the redundant. It must be appreciated that, for indeterminate structural system like trusses, the unknown redundants maybe external supports reaction or the internal forces or both. And it may not be very clear which type of redundants should be considered as the amount of work involved in terms of requisite calculation may vary. Therefore, a clever choice of redundants (or a basic determinate structure as was the case with consistent deformation method) may often greatly reduce the amount of work involved. There is often a debate going on these days regarding the utility or justification of classical structural analysis in comparison to the computer method of structural analysis. It is commented that in case of classical methods of structural analysis the student comes across basic and finer points of structural engineering after which a computer analysis of a complex structure maybe undertaken. In the absence of basic knowledge of classical structural analysis, the engineer maybe in a difficult position to justify to computer results which are again to be checked against equilibrium and deformation compatibility only. EXAMPE NO. 13: The procedure for analysis has already been given. Utilizing that procedure, analyze the following truss by the method of least work.
