Distortion Strain Energy Solution

Follow our step by step solution on how to calculate Distortion Strain Energy?

FIRST Step Consider the formula
Ud=(1+𝛎)6E((σ1-σ2)2+(σ2-σ3)2+(σ3-σ1)2)
Next Step Substitute values of Variables
Ud=(1+0.3)6190GPa((35.2N/mm²-47N/mm²)2+(47N/mm²-65N/mm²)2+(65N/mm²-35.2N/mm²)2)
Next Step Convert Units
Ud=(1+0.3)61.9E+11Pa((3.5E+7Pa-4.7E+7Pa)2+(4.7E+7Pa-6.5E+7Pa)2+(6.5E+7Pa-3.5E+7Pa)2)
Next Step Prepare to Evaluate
Ud=(1+0.3)61.9E+11((3.5E+7-4.7E+7)2+(4.7E+7-6.5E+7)2+(6.5E+7-3.5E+7)2)
Next Step Evaluate
Ud=1540.93333333333J/m³
Next Step Convert to Output's Unit
Ud=1.54093333333333kJ/m³
LAST Step Rounding Answer
Ud=1.5409kJ/m³

Distortion Strain Energy Formula Elements
