Strain Energy of the member is defined as the internal work done in deforming the body by the action of externally applied forces.

Resilience is defined as the capacity of a strained body for doing work on the removal of the straining force.

The strain energy stored in a body due to external loading, within the elastic limit, is known as resilience and the maximum energy which can be stored in a body up to the elastic limit is called proof resilience.

Modulus of resilience is defined as proof resilience per unit volume. It is the area under the stress-strain curve up to the elastic limit.

Y is the elastic limit of steel.

Toughness is the capacity of a structure to withstand an impact load i.e. the capacity to absorb energy without fracture.

Proof resilience is defined as the maximum strain energy stored in a body. So, it is the quantity of strain energy stored in a body when strained up to elastic limit (ability to store or absorb energy without permanent deformation).
