Strain energy:
It is defined as the energy adsorption of material due to strain under an applied load. It is also equal to the work done on a specimen by an external force. It can be denoted by U.
Where,
M = Maximum moment, E = Elastic modulus, I = Moment of inertia.
Explanation:
Strain energy will be maximum when the maximum moment will be high.
Maximum moment for different types of beam:
For the cantilever beam,
For Fixed-beam,
For simply supported beam,
For propped cantilever beam,
Hence, Strain energy for the uniformly distributed load will be maximum in the cantilever beam.
