Question 1

What is the core function of Castigliano’s Second Theorem?

  • To find internal loads
  • To calculate deflections and rotations
  • To determine support reactions

💡 Hint: Remember, it's about understanding displacement.

Question 2

True or False: A redundant structure can always be analyzed using simple equilibrium equations.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Think about what makes a structure 'redundant.'

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A steel beam is supporting a load of 10kN, resulting in a strain energy of 25J. Calculate the deflection using Castigliano’s theorem.

💡 Hint: Make sure you convert units appropriately.

Question 2

Analyze how a redundant frame structure would behave under increasing lateral loads during a wind event. What needs to be recalculated to ensure safety?

💡 Hint: Remember the implications of redundancy in load distribution.
