A tensile load of 60kN is gradually applied to a circular bar of 4cm diameter and 10m long. What will be the strain energy absorbed by the rod if E=1×105 N/mm2?
A tensile load of 60kN is gradually applied to a circular bar of 4cm diameter and 10m long. What will be the strain energy absorbed by the rod if E=1×105 N/mm2? Correct Answer 143.2 N-m
Stress = 60,000 / 400π = 47.746 Strain energy = σ2V/2E = 47.746×47.746×12,566,370 / (2×100000) = 143,236.54 N-mm = 143.2N-m.
