    The document discusses determining the equations of motion for single-degree-of-freedom systems using virtual work principles. It provides an example of using virtual displacements to determine the spring force in a framed structure with applied loads W and H. The height of the load W above the base is defined. The change in this height due to a small virtual rotation is also defined, in order to set up the virtual work equation to solve for the spring force.

    Forpulation of the eguations of motion: Single-degree-of-freedom systems 33

    figure E2.3 (a) Simply supported beam; (b) virunl displacements in the released beam.

    Further, it causes no internal deformations so that dVi is zero and the virnral work equation
    becomes

    JVr: 0.0

    RLie - Pa60 :0.0


    which gives

    p-___ Pa
    "- t

    Example 2.4
    For the frame shown in Figure E2.4a, d*ermine the spring force due to the applied loads W
    and H.

    Solution
    To solve the problem, we first replace the spring by a pair of equal and opposite forces X and
    then give the resulting system a small virnral displacement.t0. The virnral displacemens of
    the entire system are shown in Figure E2.4b, and we note that they are compatible with the
    constraints in the system,
    The height of the load W above the base AC is given by

    h:(o+b)sind (a)

    The change in h as a result of the change in @ is given by

    6h: Ut* blcos060 (b)
