Mechanical Engineering
Strength of Materials
Difficulty: Easy
Choose an option
-
AEnergy stored in a body when strained within elastic limits
-
BEnergy stored in a body when strained up to fracture
-
CMaximum strain energy which can be stored in a body
-
DNone of the above
Answer
Correct Answer: Energy stored in a body when strained within elastic limits
Explanation
DefinitionsResilience: strain energy stored within the elastic range (per unit volume is modulus of resilience).Proof resilience: maximum strain energy that can be stored within the elastic limit.
HenceOption (a) is the correct definition of resilience.
Final AnswerEnergy stored in a body when strained within elastic limits
