PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS AND LIMITATIONS
APPLICATIONS
Saint-Venants principle is used to
justify approximate solutions to
boundary value problems in linear
elasticity.
The principle of Saint Venant
allows us to simplify the solution
of many problems by altering the
boundary conditions while keeping
the systems of applied forces
statically equivalent. A satisfactory
approximate solution can be
obtained.
LIMITATIONS
The Saint Venants Principle, as
enunciated in terms of the strain
energy functional, does not yield
any detailed information about
individual stress components at any
specific point in an elastic body.
But such information is clearly
desired .
Saint-Venant himself limited his
principle to the problem of
extension, torsion and flexure of
prismatic and cylindrical bodies.

HOMEWORK
1. Write a one page essay on Saint Venants Principle.
2. A cylindrical beam of length 2L has an arbitrary cross section. The
beam is subjected to a force Rk acting at a point P of the boundary of
the end section z=L, and to a force Rk acting at a point p'
symmetrical to P with respect to plane z=0. solve this problem using
Saint Venants principle and determine the deformation.
