Strength Of Materials (Mechanics Of Solids)

Engineering properties of the material capture significant footprint in Civil Engineering and Mechanical Engineering industry. Different types of materials exhibit different engineering properties and can be used as per the desired structural behaviour. This book ‘Strength of Materials Mechanics of Solids)’ offers a comprehensive and simple treatment of the subject matter of properties of materials suitable to Civil Engineering and Mechanical Engineering students as well as working professionals. The book has addresses the phobias faced by structural designers very well. In this regard, the most distinguishing feature of the book is that it is equally strong in theory as well as numerical problems, thus, serving as the right blend. In the preparation of this book, the aim has been to present the text in a sequential and lucid manner, and with explanations supported by 2-D and 3-D diagrams, wherever required. The most outstanding and unique feature of the book is the condensation of the exhaustive theory into a systematic, point-wise pattern and the inclusion of objective and conceptual question and their answers at the end of each chapter. Numerical problems have also been dealt with thoroughly. According to the international standards, most of the calculations have been done in SI units. This book covers the ground suitable for a first-degree course on the subject, and will also prove to be a valuable source of study to those aspiring for competitive examinations (GATE, ESE etc.). The needs of self-studying students have been specially kept in view. Many explanatory notes have been inserted particularly with reference to common conceptual problems.
