Thermal energy is energy stored by things that stretch or compress?
Thermal energy is not the energy stored by things that stretch or compress. This type of energy applies to strain potential energy. Thermal energy refers to motion energy due to the random vibration of atoms or molecules within an object.
What is the unit of strain energy?
Unit of strain energy is newton.meter or joule
What forms of energy are in stretched elastic?
strain energy when you let go of the elastic it is transferred as kinetic energy
Is the energy stored in a compressed spring called strain energy?
The energy stored in a compressed spring is called potential energy.
Why torsion pendulum is called so?
A torsion pendulum is composed of a very thin flat strip of metal like phosphor bronze or steel with a metal bob connected to the lower end. The top is fixed to a stable beam and the bob is then rotated and released. This has slightly raised the bob and has stored some torsional energy in the metal strip. It is then free to return to it's resting position,it overshoots and when halted by torsion in the opposite direction reverses and so on until all the torsional energy applied in the initial turning is dissipated. Cars and motorcycles also use torsion bar suspension system where a steel bar is rigidly fixed at one end to the chassis and the wheel hub, at the end of a cranked arm, is pivoted at the opposite end of the torsion bar. The vibrational energy of the wheel arm moving up and down over bumps in the road is stored as a twisting energy in the torsion bar. This then restores as it untwists and acts like a longitudinal spring.
What is torsional force?
"Torsional strain" is the strain induced by applying torque. Basically, it is the strain imposed on a body by twisting it. (Such as the strain that a bolt endures when you use a wrench on it.)
Strain energy definitions?
Strain energy is a form of potential energy. Work done to distort an elastic member is stored as strain energy. Some energy may be lost in plastic deformation of the member and some may be converted into heat instead of stored as strain energy, but the rest is recoverable. A spring is an example of a storage device for strain energy.
When is Torsion used in everyday life?
When ever you cross a bridge torsional strain is at work, the engineers utilized it to determine the payload of each bridge and your car creates torsional strain on the bridges members.
Where does the energy created by an earthquake come from?
The energy that is released by an earthquake is formed due to the accumulation of elastic strain energy in the crust around a fault due to deformation (a bit like the energy stored in a compressed spring). As the stress and resultant strain accumulates, it ultimately exceeds the shear strength of the rock mass in the fault zone or the shear strength of the fault itself and causes a brittle failure or rupture to occur. This causes sudden movement, fracturing of the rock mass and a sudden release of the accumulated elastic strain energy in the form of seismic waves, heat and sound.
What is a torsion engine?
A mangonel is the perfect example of a torsion engine. The drive provided to this ancient catapult comes from a mass of twisted ropes which create torsion and when released provide the energy required to hurl whatever it is you wish.
Find an expression for the energy density in terms of stress and strain?
The expression for the energy density in terms of stress and strain can be expressed as ρe.
Where can one purchase a torsion spring?
A torsion spring is a spring that gains mechanical energy when it is twisted. It is a flexible elastic object and is commonly found on old fashioned traps. Mouse traps have torsion springs. Torsion springs are purchasable on Amazon and eBay. Buying a mouse trap and removing the spring is also a good idea.
What is strain energy theory?
The strain theory is a state of deviation from bond angle of a normal tetrahedral angle.
What is torsion testing machine?
A torsion testing machine is used for determining the shear stress, modulus of rigidity, strain energy, ultimate torsional stress, etc of a material. It is mainly used in the field of Mechanical Engineering. The machine consists of two jaws. One jaw is capable of rotating whereas the other jaw remains stationary. The movable jaw is driven by an electric motor which can be operated in both forward and reverse directions.

Energy stored by a stretcher or compressed object?
it is called strain energy
