Apply the 4-step process:
1. Calculate the axial forces and bending moments for the applied load. This requires a full solution of the structure by the
methods of Unit 4.
2. Apply the unit load at the location of and in the direction of the desired displacement.
3. Calculate the axial forces and bending moments for the virtual load. This requires another full solution of the structure by the
methods of Unit 4.
4. Compute the deflection using the equation above.
Here are a few approximate partial answers to check your work along the way:
• Peak real moment: 518 kip-in
• Real axial force in the cable: 20.4 kips
Keep track of the three different contributions for the deflection at point D (axial and bending as appropriate)...

![In this unit, we continue to expand the concept of virtual work to structures with both axial and flexural deformations. The same 4-
step process still applies.
1. Compute real member axial forces and bending moments
2. Apply virtual load at the location of and in the direction of the desired displacement
3. Compute virtual member axial forces and bending moments
4. Compute the displacement according to the sum below (using tabular calculations - a spreadsheet is recommended to
automate your calculations)
If we have Nm total members, we include the virtual energy stored in each member flexurally and axially:
mị Mi dx
A = Li=1
+
EA;
EI
All the terms have been defined in the previous sections. An important consideration is that often in hand calculations we neglect
axial deformation in members that are subjected to both axial and flexural forces. If the problem does not give you EA for a
member, you may treat it as axially rigid (infinite EA, no contribution to deflection).
In this unit, you will explore this concept with the following activities:](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fd3db2ef1-a090-4694-913e-f7d89b7c22ef%2F1dd93827-0507-4ef5-b1d8-d780b71e42e8%2Fy96s4c_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
