Core Logic
Given parameters:
- Young's modulus, Y = 2.0 × 10¹¹~N/m²$Y = 2.0 \times 10^{11}\mathrm{~N/m}^2$
- Poisson's ratio, σ = 0.2$\sigma = 0.2$
- Transverse strain, εₜᵣₐₙₛ = 10⁻³$\epsilon_{\text{trans}} = 10^{-3}$
First, calculate the longitudinal strain ε$\epsilon$:
σ = εₜᵣₐₙₛε 0.2 = 10⁻³ε$$\sigma = \frac{\epsilon_{\text{trans}}}{\epsilon} \implies 0.2 = \frac{10^{-3}}{\epsilon}$$
ε = 10⁻³0.2 = 5 × 10⁻³$$\epsilon = \frac{10^{-3}}{0.2} = 5 \times 10^{-3}$$
Now, compute the elastic potential energy density u$u$:
u = (1)/(2) Y ε² = (1)/(2) × (2.0 × 10¹¹) × (5 × 10⁻³)²$$u = \frac{1}{2} Y \epsilon^2 = \frac{1}{2} \times (2.0 \times 10^{11}) \times (5 \times 10^{-3})^2$$
u = 10¹¹ × 25 × 10⁻⁶ = 25 × 10⁵~J/m³$$u = 10^{11} \times 25 \times 10^{-6} = 25 \times 10^5\mathrm{~J/m}^3$$
Expressing as x × 10⁵$x \times 10^5$, we have x = 25$x = 25$.
Step 1: Final Conclusion
The value of the coefficient is 25.
Pattern Recognition
Poisson's ratio is defined as the ratio of lateral/transverse strain to longitudinal strain. Use this to determine the longitudinal stretch, then apply the basic potential energy density formula (1)/(2) Y ε²$\frac{1}{2} Y \epsilon^2$ directly.
