Question

An object deformed by applying force. Energy stored in the material during deformation is known as:

• A. elastic energy
• B. potential energy
• C. strain energy
• D. plastic energy

Answer 1

Answer:

C. strain energy

When a body is strained within the elastic limit, it stores energy which is known as strain energy. The maximum energy stored up to the elastic limit is called proof resilience. Modulus of resilience is proof resilience per unit volume. Modulus of toughness is the ability of a material to absorb energy up to fracture, and is measured by the area under the complete
