  1. A mild steel specimen is under uni-axial tensile stress. Young’s modulus and yield stress for mild steel are 2 × 105 MPa respectively. The maximum amount of strain energy per unit volume that can be stored in this specimen without permanent set is
    1. 156 Nmm/mm3
    2. 15.6 Nmm/mm3
    3. 1.56 Nmm/mm3
    4. 0.156 Nmm/mm3
Correct Option: D

Max strain energy unit volume

=

2E

=
250 × 106
= 156250 Nm/m3
2 × 2 × 1011

= 0.156 Nmm/mm3
