A tensile load of 60kN is gradually applied to a circular bar of 4cm diameter and 5m long. What is the strain energy in the rod if the load is applied suddenly (E = 2×105 N/mm2)?
A tensile load of 60kN is gradually applied to a circular bar of 4cm diameter and 5m long. What is the strain energy in the rod if the load is applied suddenly (E = 2×105 N/mm2)? Correct Answer d143.23 N-m
Maximum instantaneous stress = 2P / A = 95.493 Strain energy = σ2V/2E = 143288N-mm = 143.238 N-m.
