Principle of Virtual Work Min
Principle of Virtual Work Min
Principle of Virtual Work Min
PA Sostry
Principal of virtual work states that virtual work done by external active forces on an
ideal mechanical system in equilibrium is zero for any and all vhtual displacements
consistent with the constraints.
ldeal systems are those composed of two or more rigid members linked together with
mechanical connections which are incapable of absorbing energy through compression
or elongation and have negligible friction.
1 Active forces: External forces capable of doing virtual work during possible virtual
.
dis[placements.
2. Reactive forces: Forces that act at fixed supports where virtual displacements are not
possible. They do no work.
3. lnternal forces: Forces in the connection between members. As internal forces act in
pairs in opposite directions, the work by one force canCels the work of other force.
The virtual work done on the system by all active forces during a virtual displacement is
zero.
lf active forces F1, F2, .. in a system go through virtual displacements 6x1, 6x2, .. as
per constraints, then the total virtual work 6U = 0,

Example 1 (with explanation of convention or signs to be adapted)
Find the horizontal component of the reaction at the support of the structure shown,
when a force P is applied"
Now the active forces are P and F as they are the only once that have done the virtual
work. Reaction at support joint A does no work and the internal forces at joint B
between members does no work.
Virtual work due to P is 6Up - P. 6yp and that due to F is 6Ur - F. 6xc.
The total virtuat work = 6U = 6Up +6Ur = 0.
Sign Convention:
lf a force F moving by distance 6s, (ie
Work done = + F. 6s if F and 6s are in the same direction.
= - F. 6s if F and 6s are in opposite directions.
However, dsdepends on the coordinate system chosen. The virtual displacement (6x,
or 6y or 60) has to be assigned +ve or -ve sign as per the sign of the virtual
displacement.
For the example, as per this convention, P and distance moved are in the same
direction. Hence Virtual Work P = 6Up = p. 6s = P. (- 6ya) = - P. dYe
F and displacement dx are in opposite directions, Hence,
Virtual Work by F - - F. 6s = - F. 6xc
Thus the equation of virtual work becomes
6U = - P. 6yr- F. dxs= 0 (1)
Now 6ys anddxc are substituted from differentials of equations for Ye and xc.
Ys= lSin 0 ; OYn= | Cose. de
Xc = 2l Cos0; 6xc = -21Sin0. d0
Substituting in Eqn.(1), we get
- P. dyr - F. dx6= -P. I Cos e. 6e + F. 2l Sin0. A0 = 0
+ p=(Pt2)Cot0
