Using the principles and laws of mechanics and the fundamentals of engineering, Strength of Materials will help students and practicing engineers with a background in mechanical and/or civil engineering apply concepts of engineering mechanics for analysis and design of materials, civil structures, and machine elements. The book focuses both on the basics and more complex topics such as stress-strain curves in tension, shear forces and bending moments in beams, torsion of circular members, theory of elastic failure, mechanical testing of failures, etc. End of chapter problems, solved illustrations and multiple choice questions are presented throughout the book to augment learning.
< div="" style="">This fourth edition focuses on the basics and advanced topics in strength of materials. This is an essential guide to students, as several chapters have been rewritten and their scope has expanded. Four new chapters highlighting combined loadings, unsymmetrical bending and shear centre, fixed beams, and rotating rings, discs and cylinders have been added. New solved examples, multiple choice questions and short answer questions have been added to augment learning. The entire text has been thoroughly revised and updated to eliminate the possible errors left out in the previous editions of the book. This textbook is ideal for the students of Mechanical and Civil Engineering.^
Written in simple and lucid language for better understanding of basic concepts Well supported by diagrams/illustrations and solved problems Adequate practice exercises given at the end of each chapter
