The total strain energy for a unit cube subjected to three principal stresses is given by?

(a) U= [(σέ) ₁ + (σέ) ₂+ (σέ) ₃]/3

(b) U= [(σ₁²+σ₂²+σ₃²)/2E] – (σ₁σ₂+σ₂σ₃+σ₃σ₁)2μ

(c) U= [(σέ) ₁ + (σέ) ₂+ (σέ) ₃]/4

(d) None of the mentioned

I got this question in a dream while sleeping.

Best answer is (b) U= [(σ₁²+σ₂²+σ₃²)/2E] – (σ₁σ₂+σ₂σ₃+σ₃σ₁)2μ

Easy explanation: U= [(σέ) ₁ + (σέ) ₂+ (σέ) ₃]/2 is the basic formula. After substituting values of έ₁, έ₂ and έ₃, we get the expression b.
