The strain energy in the form of elastic deformation is mostly recoverable in the form of mechanical work. For example, the heat of combustion of cyclopropane (696 kJ/mol) is higher than that of propane (657 kJ/mol) for each additional CH 2 unit. Compounds with unusually large strain energy include tetrahedranes, propellanes, cubane-type ...
There are situations where seemingly identical conformations are not equal in strain energy. Syn-pentane strain is an example of this situation. There are two different ways to put both of the bonds the central in n-pentane into a gauche conformation, one of which is 3 kcal mol −1 higher in energy than the other. [1]
Plot of Load vs. Displacement. The energy release rate is defined [3] as the instantaneous loss of total potential energy per unit crack growth area , , where the total potential energy is written in terms of the total strain energy , surface traction , displacement , and body force by
A strain energy density function or stored energy density function is a scalar-valued function that relates the strain energy density of a material to the deformation ...
Angle strain destabilizes a molecule, as manifested in higher reactivity and elevated heat of combustion. Maximum bond strength results from effective overlap of atomic orbitals in a chemical bond. A quantitative measure for angle strain is strain energy. Angle strain and torsional strain combine to create ring strain that affects cyclic ...
Maximum distortion energy theory (von Mises yield criterion) also referred to as octahedral shear stress theory. [4] – This theory proposes that the total strain energy can be separated into two components: the volumetric (hydrostatic) strain energy and the shape (distortion or shear) strain energy. It is proposed that yield occurs when the ...
A hyperelastic or Green elastic material [1] is a type of constitutive model for ideally elastic material for which the stress–strain relationship derives from a strain energy density function. The hyperelastic material is a special case of a Cauchy elastic material.
Hencky (1924) offered a physical interpretation of von Mises criterion suggesting that yielding begins when the elastic energy of distortion reaches a critical value. [6] For this reason, the von Mises criterion is also known as the maximum distortion strain energy criterion.
