Distortion Energy Formula
The following two example problems outline the steps and information needed to calculate the Distortion Energy.
DE = SE – VE
Variables:
- DE is the Distortion Energy (J)
- SE is the total strain energy (J)
- VE is the total energy due to volume change (J)
How to Calculate Distortion Energy?
The following steps outline how to calculate the Distortion Energy.
- First, determine the total strain energy (J).
- Next, determine the total energy due to volume change (J).
- Next, gather the formula from above = DE = SE – VE.
- Finally, calculate the Distortion Energy.
- After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.
Example Problem :
Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.
total strain energy (J) = 500
total energy due to volume change (J) = 70
DE = SE – VE = ?
