Static Equilibrium (F = 0 = -F1 + F2 – F3 + F4 Internal Forces PAB = F1 (Tension) PBC = F1 – F2 (Tension) PCD = F1 – F2 + F3 (Tension) Deformation. δAD = δAB + δBC + δCD = + + Since the P’s were assumed in tension, negative values will indicate compression and contraction for the deformation rather than elongation.
