    Work Equivalent Loads

    An element AB is subjected to a linearly distributed load q(x). The deformation v(x) is also linear. Work equivalent forces FA and FB are determined to replace the distributed load and deformation. The work done by the distributed load q(x) is set equal to the work done by the nodal forces FA and FB. This leads to equations relating the nodal forces to the distributed load values at nodes A and B. Solving these equations provides the work equivalent nodal forces.

    Work Equivalent Loads

    An element edge AB connecting two nodes A and B is subjected to a linearly distributed load q(x). The
    deformation of AB is v(x) is a linear function between A and B. Both q(x) and v(x) act in the same
    direction and can be expressed as functions of the values at A & B using the equations given below.
