the load will be proportional to displacement. σ = P/A δ = PL/AE 2. The geometry of the structure must not undergo significant change when the loads are applied, i.e., small displacement theory applies. Large displacements will significantly change and orientation of the loads. An example would be a cantilevered thin rod subjected to a force ...
Displacement diagrams are effectively plotting the displacement vectors of the joints as defined by the end of the bars. The displacement vector for the end of a bar is made up of two components: (1) an extension, of a magnitude defined by the bar force and the constitutive behavior of the bar which is parallel to the direction of the bar and (2) a
$\delta = \dfrac{PL}{AE} = \dfrac{\sigma L}{E}$ To use this formula, the load must be axial, the bar must have a uniform cross-sectional area, and the stress must not exceed the proportional limit. If however, the cross-sectional area is not uniform, the axial deformation can be determined by considering a differential length and applying ...

Consider the beam of Fig. 1.14 axially loaded along the x axis in com-pression. If a small load or displacement is applied laterally at the location of the axial load, the beam bends slightly. If the lateral load is removed, the beam returns to its straight position.
You're trying to find the displacement of the bar with the load distributed longitudinally at a point A. You use the formula displacement = PL/AE where P=load, L=length of member, A=cross-sectional area tangent to the load, and E=Young's modulus.
We determine the constants of integration by evaluating our expression for displacement v(x) and/or our expression for the slope dv/dx at points where we are sure of their val-ues. One such boundary condition is that, at x=0 the displacement is zero, i.e., vx()= 0 x = 0 Another is that, at the support point B, the displacement must vanish, i.e.,
