Energy Theorems and Structural Analysis: A Generalized Discourse with Applications on Energy Principles of Structural Analysis Including the Effects of Temperature and Non‐Linear Stress‐Strain Relations Part II. Applications to Thermal Stress Problems and St. Venant Torsion

Abstract

This paper continues the theme of the opening Part I by analysing a number of problems designed to illustrate some particular aspects of the general theory. Three are concerned with thermal stresses and the last applies inter alia the theorems on maxima and minima to find lower and upper bounds to the St Venant torsional stiffness of a thin solid section.
