Maxwell's Reciprocating Theorem

The conclusion of Maxwell's reciprocal theorem for elastic structures is that the deformation (rotation or deflection) of point A; when load is placed at point B; is equals to the deformation of point B when that load is placed at point A. 

    Example: Consider two cantilever beams with same flexural rigidity (EI) as shown below.
