A body is in equilibrium if, and only if, the virtual work of all
forces acting on the body is zero.
In this context, the word ‘virtual’ means ‘having the effect of, but
not the actual form of, what is specified’. Thus we can imagine
ways in which to impose virtual work, without worrying about
how it might be achieved in the physical world.
Truss Displacement
Method of Determining The Displacement
Virtual Work
There are two ways to define virtual work, as follows.
1. Principle of Virtual Displacements:
Virtual work is the work done by the actual forces acting
on the body moving through a virtual displacement.
This means we solve an equilibrium problem through geometry.
