This U v is the strain energy per unit volume caused by the uniform (hydrostatic) stress,
which is part of the three principal stresses 1 , 2 , 3 .
Distortion Energy at the location of principal stresses 1 , 2 , 3
The distortion energy can then be obtained as the difference between the total strain energy at
the location of principal stresses, and the strain energy due to the hydrostatic portion of the
stresses at the same location. The distortion energy is then derived from the expression:
U d U -Uv
Where,
U d Distortion energy in the element at the location of principal stresses 1 , 2 , 3
