Strain Energy

Strain energy is the energy stored in a body when it undergoes elastic deformation due to an applied load. It is equal to the work done on the body. There are three types of strain energy: 1) Resilience is the total strain energy stored in a body. 2) Proof resilience is the maximum strain energy that can be stored without exceeding the elastic limit. 3) Modulus of resilience is the maximum strain energy per unit volume at the elastic limit. Shear strain energy is calculated as τ2V/2G, where τ is the shear stress, V is the volume, and G is the modulus of rigidity.

STRAIN ENERGY

 When a body is subjected to gradual, sudden or impact


load, the body deforms and work is done upon it. If the
elastic limit is not exceed, this work is stored in the body.
This work done or energy stored in the body is called
strain energy.

 Energy is stored in the body during deformation process


and this energy is called “Strain Energy”.

Strain energy = Work done


 Resilience :

Total strain energy stored in a body is called


resilience.
