   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
strain energy [′strān ‚en·ər·jē]
(mechanics)
The potential energy stored in a body by virtue of an elastic deformation, equal to the work that must be done to produce this deformation.

strain energy
The work which is done in deforming a body.

Edwards and Vilgis (4) derived the following expression for the change in strain energy per unit volume W, as a result of principal extension rations [[lambda].
The wide range of topics includes: structural analysis modeling, statistically determinate structures, force and displacement methods of analysis, strain energy and virtual work, determination of displacements by virtual work, displacement of elastic structures by special methods, influence lines, effects of axial forces on flexural stiffness, plastic analysis of continuous beams and frames, structural dynamics, computer analysis of framed structures, and reliability analysis of structures.
Let us compare these results with strain energies in structural mechanics: --the strain energy of uniform beam of length L subjected to axial force N : [U.
