This document discusses deflection energy and the energy method. It defines external work as the product of a force and displacement in the direction of the force. The total external work is the integral of force with respect to displacement over the total path. It also defines the work of a moment as the product of the moment and the angle of rotation, with the total work of a moment being the integral of the moment with respect to the angle of rotation.

Work done by the force is negative if the angle between force and displacement is obtuse (90 <θ<180) as cosθ is negative. This signifies, when the force and
