Castigliano’s Method
If deflection is not covered by simple cases in Table 5.1 (p186)
Complementary
Energy U’
U = U' = ∆ ⋅ Q 2
Incremental: dU = dU' = ∆ ⋅ dQ
Deflection: ∆ = dU dQ
Castiglino’s Theorem: ∆ = ∂U ∂Q
When a body is elastically deflected by any combination of loads, the
deflection at any point and in any direction is equal to the
partial derivative of strain energy (computed with all loads acting)
with respect to a load located at that point and acting
in that direction
