How This Is Calculated


$$ U = \frac{1}{2} \sigma \epsilon $$ where:

U   =   Strain Energy Density   (J/m³)

σ   =   Stress   (Pa)

ε   =   Strain   (Dimensionless)


Assumptions


  • The material behaves in a linarlly elastic manner.
  • The material is isotropic.
  • The material is homogeneous.
  • The deformations are small.
