Strain energy is a fundamental concept in the field of materials science and structural engineering, describing the energy absorbed by a material or ...

An axial load causes a rod to elongate, and store strain energy in it. The strain energy density in the rod is the energy per unit volume. Here, the ratio ...

When a material is subjected to an axial loading, it experiences normal stress, leading to strain energy generation. This equation is valid for uniformly ...

When the material is subjected to a shearing stress, the strain energy density can be expressed in integral form as the product of the shearing stress and ...

Consider a rod of uniform cross-sectional area fixed at one end. When another moving object hits the free end of the rod, the rod deforms, and stress is ...

Consider a cantilever beam fixed at one end, having a circular cross-section. If an object is dropped on the free end of the cantilever from a height h, ...

Castigliano's theorem is useful for determining displacements and rotations in structures undergoing elastic deformations. It states that the partial ...

Consider a simply supported beam PQ of length L, carrying a point load F at the center. What will be the deflection at the center of the beam? Here, the ...
