Strain Energy in Bending Formula Elements

Variables
Strain Energy
Strain Energy is the energy adsorption of material due to strain under an applied load. It is also equal to the work done on a specimen by an external force.
Symbol: U
Measurement: EnergyUnit: N*m
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Bending Moment
The Bending Moment is the reaction induced in a structural element when an external force or moment is applied to the element, causing the element to bend.
Symbol: M
Measurement: Moment of ForceUnit: kN*m
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Length of Member
Length of Member is the measurement or extent of member (beam or column) from end to end.
Symbol: L
Measurement: LengthUnit: mm
