Castigliano's second theorem gives deflection at a point by differentiating:

Structural AnalysisTheory of Structures and DesignHARD

Choose the correct answer

slope with respect to curvature only

strain energy with respect to the corresponding load

bending moment with respect to shear force

load with respect to strain energy

B. strain energy with respect to the corresponding load

Unlock the reasoning, formula path and code-linked notes inside your student dashboard.

For linearly elastic structures, displacement in the direction of a load equals partial derivative of strain energy with respect to that load.
