External Work and Strain Energy
Most energy methods are based on the conservation of
energy principle, which states that the work done by all the
external forces acting on a structure, Ue, is transformed into
internal work or strain energy, Ui.

Where:
1 = external virtual unit load acting on the truss joint in the stated direction of D
n = internal virtual normal force in a truss member caused by the external virtual
unit load
D = external joint displacement caused by the real load on the truss
N = internal normal force in a truss member caused by the real loads

Where:
D = external joint displacement caused by the temperature change

DT = change in temperature of member
• Fabrication Errors and Camber
DD Ln1
Where:
D = external joint displacement caused by the fabrication errors
DL = difference in length of the member from its intended size as
caused by a fabrication error

Example 8-15
The cross-sectional area of each member of the truss shown in the figure is
A = 400 mm2 and E = 200 GPa.
(a) Determine the vertical displacement of joint C if a 4-kN force is
applied to the truss at C.
(b) If no loads act on the truss, what would be the vertical displacement
of joint C if member AB were 5 mm too short?
(c) If 4 kN force and fabrication error are both accounted, what would
be the vertical displacement of joint C.
