Using the analogy between the inelastic strain gradient and applied body force, the reciprocal theorem for displacement in inelastic bodies is derived. The application of this theorem to find the deflection or slope at a particular point due to given in elastic strain distribution in the body is given. Using this theorem, the coincidence of yield surfaces with plastic potential is derived. This theorem may be applied to solid bodies of both homogeneous and composite materials.
