FAQ

What is the Total Strain Energy?
Total Strain Energy is defined as the sum of strain energy corresponding to distortion with no change in volume and strain energy corresponding to volume change with no distortion. Total Strain Energy is usually measured using the Kilojoule per Cubic Meter for Energy Density. Note that the value of Total Strain Energy is always positive.
Can the Total Strain Energy be negative?
No, the Total Strain Energy, measured in Energy Density cannot be negative.
What unit is used to measure Total Strain Energy?
Total Strain Energy is usually measured using the Kilojoule per Cubic Meter[kJ/m³] for Energy Density. Joule per Cubic Meter[kJ/m³], Megajoule per Cubic Meter[kJ/m³] are the few other units in which Total Strain Energy can be measured.
