This lecture covers the concept of elastic strain energy in beams, focusing on the theorem of deformation reciprocity and the expression of strain energy as a function of external forces and moments. It explores the quadratic form of strain energy and the influence coefficients, leading to the interpretation of these coefficients and the application of Castigliano's theorem in calculating strain energy in beams.
