Strain Energy in Shear 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.
Shear Force
Shear Force is the force which causes shear deformation to occur in the shear plane.
Symbol: V
Measurement: ForceUnit: kN
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
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
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Area of Cross-Section
Area of Cross-section is a cross-sectional area which we obtain when the same object is cut into two pieces. The area of that particular cross-section is known as the cross-sectional area.
Symbol: A
Measurement: AreaUnit: mm²
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Modulus of Rigidity
Modulus of Rigidity is the measure of the rigidity of the body, given by the ratio of shear stress to shear strain. It is often denoted by G.
Symbol: GTorsion
Measurement: PressureUnit: GPa
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
