The area method to find energy stored in deformed material is valid for :

Correct answer: C. both a and b

  • A. Elastic region
  • B. Non-Elastic region
  • C. both a and b
  • D. Elastic for small force

Explanation

The area method is valid for both the elastic and non-elastic regions. In the elastic region, the area under the stress-strain curve represents the elastic energy stored in the material. In the non-elastic region, the area under the stress-strain curve represents the total energy absorbed by the material, including both elastic and plastic deformation.
