Dunne's method

Dunne's method is a technique used in engineering to analyze how structures, like beams or plates, respond to stresses and deformations. It involves calculating the "strain energy" stored when a structure is deformed and using this to determine how it will behave under load. Essentially, it helps engineers predict the points at which materials may bend or fail, ensuring safe and efficient design. The method emphasizes understanding the distribution of forces and deformations within the structure, providing insights into its strength and stability without overly complex calculations.
