The document discusses different types of strain energy. It defines modulus of resilience as the maximum amount of energy per unit volume a material can absorb through elastic deformation or recover from after stress is released, with units of Joules per cubic meter. For gradual loading, strain energy is calculated as half the load multiplied by the change in length. For sudden loading, strain energy stored equals the load multiplied by the displacement, which can be determined using stress, length, and Young's modulus from Hooke's law. For impact loading, strain energy equals the load multiplied by the displacement height plus the deformation calculated from stress and material properties.
