Potential Elastic Energy.
Energy stored as a change in shape
The strain theory is a state of deviation from bond angle of a normal tetrahedral angle.
The elastic modulus, also called Young's modulus, is identical to the tensile modulus. It relates stress to strain when loaded in tension.
The displacement is proportional to the strain. This does not factor for creep and time.
The definition of elastic vibration was found in the website at the bottom. Elastic vibration is oscillating movement of a solid object in which a large majority of the energy is retained though elastic forces and with inertia of the object.www.answers.com/topic/elastic-vibration
A common object that can store elastic strain energy is a rubber band. When stretched, it stores potential energy in the form of elastic strain that can be released when the band is allowed to return to its original shape.
Energy stored as a change in shape
In stretched elastic, the primary forms of energy present are elastic potential energy, which is the energy stored in the elastic material due to its deformation, and kinetic energy, if the elastic material is moving.
it is called strain energy
The elastic strain energy per unit volume, also known as the strain energy density, can be derived by integrating the stress-strain curve over the strain range. The area under the stress-strain curve represents the work done on the material, which is equivalent to the strain energy stored. By dividing this strain energy by the volume of the material, the strain energy density per unit volume can be obtained.
This is a form of potential energy known as elastic strain energy.
elastic strain is released when the two plates are either slipping past each other or pulling apart or coming together
The energy of an earthquake is stored as elastic strain energy in the Earth's crust along the fault line prior to the earthquake. This energy is released when the stress on the fault exceeds the strength of the rocks, causing them to break and the energy to be radiated as seismic waves.
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.
If an object has no stored elastic energy, it is likely in its relaxed or equilibrium state. This means that there are no internal forces causing deformation or strain in the object.
The strain theory is a state of deviation from bond angle of a normal tetrahedral angle.
When elastic strain accumulates at a fault, it occurs due to the buildup of stress as tectonic plates interact. This strain increases until it exceeds the frictional resistance along the fault, leading to a sudden release of energy in the form of an earthquake. The released energy results in the abrupt displacement of the fault, causing the stored elastic strain to convert into seismic waves. After the event, the fault may show signs of permanent deformation, and the cycle of stress accumulation begins anew.
