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

Thick walled cylinder theory - Stress/strain in ballooned out tube
I want to work out how much I can expand a piece of rubber tubing before it ruptures. The wall is 0.75mm and the ID 5mm. Hence I am working out the stress/strain from thick-walled cylinder theory ...
