How to Evaluate Shear strain energy?

Shear strain energy evaluator uses Strain Energy in body = (Shear stress on surface of shaft^2)*(Volume of Shaft)/(2*Modulus of rigidity of Shaft) to evaluate the Strain Energy in body, The Shear strain energy formula is defined as the energy stored in a body due to deformation. The strain energy (i.e. the amount of potential energy stored due to the deformation) is equal to the work expended in deforming the material. Strain Energy in body is denoted by U symbol.

How to evaluate Shear strain energy using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Shear strain energy, enter Shear stress on surface of shaft (𝜏), Volume of Shaft (V) & Modulus of rigidity of Shaft (G) and hit the calculate button.
