A material of youngs modulus and Poissons ratio of unity is subjected to two principal stresses σ1 and σ2 at a point in two dimensional stress system. The strain energy per unit volume of the material is __________

A material of youngs modulus and Poissons ratio of unity is subjected to two principal stresses σ1 and σ2 at a point in two dimensional stress system. The strain energy per unit volume of the material is __________ Correct Answer (σ12 + σ22 – 2σ1σ2 ) / 2E

Strain energy = (σ1ε1+ σ1ε1 ) / 2E = (σ12 + σ22 – 2σ1σ2 ) / 2E.
