some value P, and the final deflection in the direction of the load is A, the
load does work U, =PA on the structure. By conservation of energy,
this work is stored in the elastic deformation energy of the structure, U¡ .
For a truss, the internal strain energy is the sum of the axial strain energies
in all the elements. This gives the equation
N²L
PA =E
2AE
where N is the internal axial force in each member.
