STRAIN ENERGY 
Energy Methods: 
(i) Formula to calculate the strain energy due to axial loads (tension): 
U  = ?  P ² / ( 2AE)dx limit 0 toL 
 
Where, P = Applied tensile load, L =  Length of the member ,  A = Area of the member, and 
E = Young’smodulus. 
(ii) Formula to calculate the strain energy due tobending: 
U  = ?   M ² /  ( 2EI) dx limit 0 toL 
 
Where, M = Bending moment due to applied loads, E = Young’s modulus, and I = Moment of 
inertia. 
(iii) Formula to calculate the strain energy due totorsion: 
U  = ?  T ² / ( 2GJ)  dx limit 0 toL

FAQs on Formula Sheet: Strength of Materials (SOM) - Strength of Materials (SOM) - Mechanical Engineering

1. What is the formula for calculating stress in a material?
Ans. The formula for calculating stress in a material is given by stress = force/area. It represents the force applied per unit area of the material.
2. How do you calculate the modulus of elasticity for a material?
Ans. The modulus of elasticity, also known as Young's modulus, can be calculated by dividing the stress by the strain. It is given by the formula modulus of elasticity = stress/strain.
3. What is the formula for calculating the bending moment in a beam?
Ans. The formula for calculating the bending moment in a beam is given by bending moment = force x distance. It represents the product of the applied force and the perpendicular distance from the force to the axis of rotation.
4. How do you calculate the deflection of a beam?
Ans. The deflection of a beam can be calculated using the formula deflection = (force x distance^3)/(3 x modulus of elasticity x moment of inertia). It represents the displacement of a point in the beam under the applied force.
5. What is the formula for calculating the shear stress in a material?
Ans. The formula for calculating the shear stress in a material is given by shear stress = force/area. It represents the force applied parallel to the surface of the material per unit area.
