Lecture

Strain Energy: Deformation Energy

Description

This lecture covers the concept of strain energy, emphasizing its positive nature and its calculation for beams under various loads. It introduces Castigliano's theorem as a method to determine strain energy and explores the relationship between bending moments and angle in beams. The lecture also discusses the limitations of superposition in energy calculations and the importance of considering internal moments for accurate results.
