Strain Energy Stored By A Beam Due To A Uniform Bending Moment For this case, strain energy stored by the beam due to bending = Wi = ∫(M²/2EI).ds = M2l/2EI.   If the beam section is rectangular, with section width b and depth d and the beam is subjected to a uniform bending moment M….

Strain Energy Stored Due To Bending Let’s assume a beam that is subjected to a uniform moment M. Consider an elemental length ds of the beam between two sections 1-1 and 2-2. The elemental length of the beam may be assumed as consisting of an infinite number of element cylinders each of area da and length…
