Question

Strain energy due to sudden axial load is given by

Answer 1

Answer:

Strain energy stored depends on the type of loading, whether it is gradual loading, sudden loading, and impact loading.

Strain energy stored by the member to the work done. Hence, the maximum stress intensity due to suddenly applied load is twice the stress intensity produced by the load.

Strain energy stored in the member= world done by gradually applied load.

Sudden load is imparted at random times and may disturb the system at a great objective. It is an unplanned or undesired load in most of the cases.
