@Akash,

Please explain me what is l?

Step 1: Calculate strain energy due to uniaxial loading.

Viz. U1 = {(f^2)xvol}/(2xE).

Step 2: Calculate strain energy due to pure bending.

Viz. U2 = 0.5xMxtheta.

= 0.5x[(fxI)/y]x[(Mxl)/(ExI)].

(from simple bending equation & moment area method resp.)

Solve it U2 = {(f^2)xvol}/(6xE).

i.e U2 = 0.3XU1.

:) :) :) :).

We know strain energy stored is direct stress square/2.

Can you explain?

Due to middle-third rule.

How it is calculated?
