Kinematic Theorem

The Kinematic Theorem is a fundamental principle in plastic analysis within structural engineering that establishes the upper bound of collapse load by equating the external work done under a kinematically admissible displacement mechanism to the internal energy dissipated, thereby distinguishing it from static or equilibrium-based theorems through its reliance on virtual displacement fields compatible with failure mechanisms.
