This lecture covers the concept of relative strain energy in solid materials, drawing an analogy with the energy stored in springs. It explains the relationship between stress, strain, and energy density, as well as the impact of temperature on strain energy. The lecture also delves into the calculation of work for different components of strain energy and constraints in the plane.
