Work and Energy
F
Consider a solid object acted upon by force, F,
at a point, O, as shown in the figure.
F Let the deformation at the the point be
infinitesimal and be represented by vector dr,
dr as shown.
The work done = F dr
y F For the general case:
dx W = Fx dx
x i.e., only the force in the direction of
z
the deformation does work.
Amount of Work done
Constant Force: If the Force is constant, the work is simply the
product of the force and the displacement, W = Fx
F
x Displacement
Linear Force: If the force is proportional to the displacement, the
work is 1

F
Consider a simple spring system, subjected to a Force
such that F is proportional to displacement x; F=kx.
Now determine the work done when F= Fo, from before:

This energy (work) is stored in the spring and is released
when the force is returned to zero
Strain Energy for Normal Stress

x force, Fx, creating stress x=Fx/a2
causing an elastic displacement, in the x
direction, and strain εx=/a

STRAIN ENERGY DENSITY
By dividing the strain energy U by the volume V = AL,
Modulus of Toughness
The value of strain-energy
density obtained by setting
ԑ1 = ԑR , where ԑR is the
strain rupture.
It is equal to the area
under the entire stress-
strain diagram and
represents the energy per
unit volume required to
cause the material to
rupture.
Modulus of Resilience
If the stress σx remains within the proportional limit of the material, Hooke’s
law applies and we write
Sustituting for σx , we have
Then, we get
By setting σ1 = σY or yield strength,
is called modulus of resilience of
the material. We have,
This modulus is equal to the area
under the straight-line portion OY
of the stress-strain diagram and
represents the energy per unit
volume that the material can absorb
without yielding.

Problem 1
One of the two bolts need to support a sudden tensile loading. To choose it is
necessary to determine the greatest amount of strain energy each bolt can absorb.
Bolt A has a diameter of 20 mm for 50 mm length and a root diameter of 18 mm
for 6 mm length. Bolt B has 18 mm diameter throughout the length. Take E = 210
GPa and y= 310 MPa.
Solution
Strain Energy due to Bending Moment
• For an axi-symmetric beam, if the internal moment is
M , then the normal (bending ) stress developed is given
by the flexural formula, =My/I
• The strain energy is then given by
