Calculation of instantaneous stress induced due to gradual loading, sudden load and falling loads:
1. Gradually applied load:- consider a load W is applied gradually to a material. When the
load W has been applied to the material, the material deforms and stress is
introduced in the material.
Potential energy lost by the load = strain energy stored in the material
Wx= Ax
=
Since the bar is strained an equal amount in each case, the strain energy is the same in each case, and
consequently the applied energies will be equal.
x = Wx
Thus a suddenly applied load required to produce a given strain is just half the magnitude of that required, for
the same strain when gradually applied. Such a gradually applied load is called an equivalent load.

FALLING LOAD:- Suppose a weight W falls on the collar through height 'h' . Consider a
rod of length 'L' with end fixed and a collar at the lower end.
