Strain Energy Calculator

Calculate elastic strain energy stored in members under axial, bending, torsion, and shear loading.

Applied axial force on the member.
N
Length of the structural member.
mm
Cross-sectional area of the member.
mm²
Young's modulus. Steel: 207 GPa.
GPa
Applied bending moment (0 if none).
N·m
Second moment of area (0 if no bending).
mm⁴
