Interactive Quizzes

Engage in quick quizzes to reinforce what you've learned and check your comprehension.

Question 1

What is the primary formula for calculating strain energy in axial members?

  • U = ∫(σ²/(2E) dVol)
  • U = ∫(τ²/(2G) dVol)
  • U = σ * ε

💡 Hint: Remember, this relates directly to how much force is distributed over an area.

Question 2

True or False: Shear modulus has no influence on strain energy calculations for torsional members.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Think about how materials respond to twisting.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A steel beam is subjected to an axial load of 150 kN. If the beam has a cross-sectional area of 0.01 m² and an elastic modulus of 210 GPa, calculate the strain energy stored in the beam if it elongates by 1 mm.

💡 Hint: Use the relationships established for stress and strain to formulate the solution.

Question 2

A circular shaft with a radius of 50 mm is subjected to a torsional moment that generates a shear stress of 60 MPa. Calculate the strain energy per unit volume if the shear modulus is 80 GPa.

💡 Hint: Make sure to reference the relationship for torsional strain energy derivation.
