Strain As A Function of Deflection of a Hollow Cylinder
I should think that there would be a direct correlation of strain to deflection of a hollow thin-walled cylinder, but I've seen nothing as of yet. I must be missing something. For example, let's say I ...

What is the difference between Hooke's Law and Young's Modulus?
In the elastic region where stress is proportional to strain up to elastic limit which is we call Young's Modulus (E). My question is if that is E, then what is Hooke's Law (K=F/x spring stiffness). I ...

Axially loaded member with a spring / Mechanic of Materials
i've been struggling with this problem i made up. It is about a cylindrical copper member (diameter $d=20$ mm and length $L=250$ mm) with a spring (stiffness $k=166,5$ kN/mm) fixed on a wall, as the ...

Can I weaken a coil spring consisting of spring steel?
I have a steel coil spring that is used by compression. It is too strong, and I would like to reduce its strength by some fraction, ideally keeping its length.
Reducing it to roughly half would be ...

Is strain energy the same as potential energy, or something differen?
Sorry for this stupid, basic question. But I got hung up on it.
We know from Clapeyron's theorem that the strain(internal) energy of an elastically deformed body is equal to half the work

Spring Diameter Question
Aluminum 6061-T6 has a density of 2.7 g/cm^3, a Young's modulus
of 69 GPa, and an ultimate tensile strength of 310 MPa.
If a "spring" were to be made by pulling a 10cm long cylinder of
material in ...
