Elastic energy : ウィキペディア英語版
Elastic energy

Elastic energy is the potential mechanical energy stored in the configuration of a material or physical system as work is performed to distort its volume or shape. Elastic energy occurs when objects are compressed and stretched, or generally deformed in any manner. Elasticity theory primarily develops formalisms for the mechanics of solid bodies and materials. The elastic potential energy equation is used in calculations of positions of mechanical equilibrium. The energy is potential as it will be converted into another form of energy, such as kinetic. Mathematically, the equation can be stated as:
: U = \frack \Delta x^2\,
The essence of elasticity is reversibility. Forces applied to an elastic material transfer energy into the material which, upon yielding that energy to its surroundings, can recover its original shape. However, all materials have limits to the degree of distortion they can endure without breaking or irreversibly altering their internal structure. Hence, the characterizations of solid materials include specification, usually in terms of strains, of its elastic limits. Beyond the elastic limit, a material is no longer storing all of the energy from mechanical work performed on it in the form of elastic energy.
Elastic energy of or within a substance is static energy of configuration. It corresponds to energy stored principally by changing the inter-atomic distances between nuclei. Thermal energy is the randomized distribution of kinetic energy within the material, resulting in statistical fluctuations of the material about the equilibrium configuration. There is some interaction, however. For example, for some solid objects, twisting, bending, and other distortions may generate thermal energy, causing the material's temperature to rise. Thermal energy in solids is often carried by internal elastic waves, called phonons. Elastic waves that are large on the scale of an isolated object usually produce macroscopic vibrations sufficiently lacking in randomization that their oscillations are merely the repetitive exchange between (elastic) potential energy within the object and the kinetic energy of motion of the object as a whole.
Although elasticity is most commonly associated with the mechanics of solid bodies or materials, even the early literature on classical thermodynamics defines and uses "elasticity of a fluid" in ways compatible with the broad definition provided in the Introduction above.
Solids include complex crystalline materials with sometimes complicated behavior. By contrast, the behavior of compressible fluids, and especially gases, demonstrates the essence of elastic energy with negligible complication. The simple thermodynamic formula: dU = -P\,dV \ , where dU is an infinitesimal change in recoverable internal energy ''U'', ''P'' is the uniform pressure (a force per unit area) applied to the material sample of interest, and ''dV'' is the infinitesimal change in volume that corresponds to the change in internal energy. The minus sign appears because ''dV'' is negative under compression by a positive applied pressure which also increases the internal energy. Upon reversal, the work that is done ''by'' a system is the negative of the change in its internal energy corresponding to the positive ''dV'' of an increasing volume. In other words, the system loses stored internal energy when doing work on its surroundings. Pressure is stress and volumetric change corresponds to changing the relative spacing of points within the material. The stress-strain-internal energy relationship of the foregoing formula is repeated in formulations for elastic energy of solid materials with complicated crystalline structure.
==Elastic potential energy in mechanical systems==
Components of mechanical systems will store elastic potential energy if they are deformed when forces are applied to the system. Energy is transferred to an object (i.e. work is done on it) any time a force external to it displaces or deforms the object. The quantity of energy transferred by work to the object is computed as the vector dot product of the force and the displacement of the object. As forces are applied to the system they are distributed internally to its component parts. While some of the energy transferred can end up stored as kinetic energy of acquired velocity, the deformation of the shape of component objects results in stored elastic energy.
A prototypical elastic component is a coiled spring. The linear elastic performance of a spring is parametrized by a constant of proportionality, called the spring constant. This constant is usually denoted as ''k'' (see also Hooke's Law) and depends on the geometry, cross sectional area, undeformed length and nature of the material from which the coil is fashioned. Within a certain range of deformation, ''k'' remains constant and is defined as the negative ratio of displacement to the magnitude of the restoring force produced by the spring at that displacement.
: k = - \tfrac)\rightarrow x\,
then Hooke's Law can be written in the usual form
: F_r =\, - k \, x.
Energy absorbed and stored in the spring can be derived using Hooke's Law to compute the restoring force as a measure of the applied force. This requires the assumption, sufficiently correct in most circumstances, that at a given moment, the magnitude of applied force, ''F''a is equal to the magnitude of the resultant restoring force, but its direction and thus sign is different. In other words, assume that at each point of the displacement ''F''a = ''k'' ''x'', where ''F''a is the component of applied force along the x direction
: \vec \cdot \vec = F_\,x .
For each infinitesimal displacement ''dx'', the applied force is simply ''k x'' and the product of these is the infinitesimal transfer of energy into the spring ''dU''. The total elastic energy placed into the spring from zero displacement to final length L is thus the integral
: U = \int_^ = \tfrac k (L-L_o)^2
For a material of Young's modulus, ''Y'' (same as modulus of elasticity ''λ''), cross sectional area, ''A''0, initial length, ''l''0, which is stretched by a length, \Delta l:
:U_e = \int }\, d\left(\Delta l\right) = \frac
:where Ue is the elastic potential energy.
The elastic potential energy per unit volume is given by:
:\frac = \frac = \frac Y ^2
:where \varepsilon = \frac is the strain in the material.
In the general case, elastic energy is given by the free energy per unit of volume ''f'' as a function of the strain tensor components ε''ij''
: f(\varepsilon_) = \frac \lambda \varepsilon_^2 + \mu \varepsilon_^2
where λ and μ are the Lamé elastical coefficients and we use Einstein summation convention. Noting the thermodynamic connection between stress tensor components and strain tensor components,〔
: \sigma_ = \left ( \frac \varepsilon_ \sigma_.
