1. 1 ME 323 Final Lecture – April 2011 Additional Topics

2. 2 The Principle of Stationary Potential Energy (A Different Form of Castigliano’s 1 st Theorem) Define the “potential energy”  as where U is the strain energy, and where F i = an applied force; u i = displacement in direction of F i at point of application of F i

3. 3 and, for “stationary”  (which means minimizing  ), So or i.e., Castigliano’s First Theorem. The  function is used extensively in the finite element method.

4. 4 Example Given: a cantilever beam in bending P x L Find: approximate expression for vertical displacement v(x). Solution Assume, for example,

5. 5 Boundary conditions require that x P so and

6. 6 where v is defined positive downward. Thus, and for minimum  (using “Rayleigh-Ritz method”)

7. 7 Cylindrical Pressure Vessels Thin-Walled Cylinders (ME 318 Lab S3) (closed cylinder) Thick-Walled Cylinders (See pp. 350-352, Budynas) (closed cylinder)

8. 8 Spinning Disks (See p. 355, Budynas) where is Poisson’s ratio,  is the density of the material, and  is the angular velocity.
