Strength of Materials: A Numerical Approach : Kothari, D.P

Strength of Materials: A Numerical Approach

Textbook of “strength of Materials: a numerical approach” is intended for an undergraduate/diploma and postgraduate courses in Civil, Mechanical, production and design engineering. The book contains eleven chapters and each Chapter is written in a lucid language, crisp and logical way. A large number of numericals from different examinations have been added with solution at proper places. At the end of each Chapter, highlights, theoretical questions and many unsolved numericals have been given for the students to practice. Advanced topics of stresses due to Rotation in thin and thick cylinder, bending of curved bars, bridge loading, fracture mechanics, theory of failure of the materials, Unsymmetrical bending and Shear centre have also been added. These chapters have been written in such a way that an average student can understand them easily textbook of “strength of Materials: a numerical approach” is intended for an undergraduate/diploma and postgraduate courses in Civil, Mechanical, production and design engineering.

These chapters have been written in such a way that an average student can understand them easily by self study. A large number of objective type multiple choice questions, asked in most of the competitive examinations, have been incorporated with answers To make the book more useful for the competitive examinations. Key features several solved numericals. New Chapter on “fracture of mechanics ”. Enhanced coverage of stress, strain and bridge loading. Theoretical explanation and mathematical derivation with labeled and clear diagrams. Standard operating procedure (SOP) for testing of materials has been presented.
