(a) The double cover of the Maxwell–Williot diagram. Since areas N1+N2+N3=N4 and a1+a4=a2+a3 (from the double covers of the individual form and force diagrams), it follows immediately that the external virtual work must equal the sum of the areas of parallelograms of internal virtual work. (b) The double cover of the Maxwell–Minkowski diagram.
