This formula uses 5 Variables
Variables Used
Strain Energy - (Measured in Joule) - Strain Energy is 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.
Bending Moment - (Measured in Newton Meter) - The Bending Moment is the reaction induced in a structural element when an external force or moment is applied to the element, causing the element to bend.
Length of Member - (Measured in Meter) - Length of Member is the measurement or extent of member (beam or column) from end to end.
Young's Modulus - (Measured in Pascal) - Young's Modulus is a mechanical property of linear elastic solid substances. It describes the relationship between longitudinal stress and longitudinal strain.
Area Moment of Inertia - (Measured in Meter⁴) - Area Moment of Inertia is a moment about the centroidal axis without considering mass.

What is Strain Energy?

When a body is subjected to external force it undergoes deformation. The energy stored in the body due to deformation is known as strain energy.

What is the difference between Strain Energy and Resilience?

Strain energy is elastic — that is, the material tends to recover when the load is removed. Where Resilience is typically expressed as the modulus of resilience, which is the amount of strain energy the material can store per unit of volume without causing permanent deformation.

How to Calculate Strain Energy in Bending?

Strain Energy in Bending calculator uses Strain Energy = ((Bending Moment^2)*Length of Member/(2*Young's Modulus*Area Moment of Inertia)) to calculate the Strain Energy, The Strain Energy in Bending formula is defined as the energy stored in a body due to deformation caused by bending. Strain Energy is denoted by U symbol.

How to calculate Strain Energy in Bending using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Strain Energy in Bending, enter Bending Moment (M), Length of Member (L), Young's Modulus (E) & Area Moment of Inertia (I) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Strain Energy in Bending calculation can be explained with given input values -> 135.6769 = ((53800^2)*3/(2*20000000000*0.0016)).

FAQ

What is Strain Energy in Bending?
