Strength of Materials

About the book: strength of materials: 4th edition a comprehensive coverage, student-friendly approach and the all-steps-explained style. This has made it the best-selling book among all the books on the subject. The authors zeal of presenting the text in line with the syllabuses has resulted in the edition at hand, which continues its run with all its salient features as earlier. Thus, it takes care of all the syllabuses on the subject and fully satisfies the needs of engineering students. Key features use of si units summary of important concepts and formulae at the end of every chapter a large number of solved problems presented systematically a large number of exercise problems to test the students ability simple and clear explanation of concepts and the underlying theory in each chapter generous use of diagrams (more than 550) for better understanding new in the fourth edition overhaul of the text to match the changes in various syllabuses additional topics and chapters for the benefit of mechanical engineers, like stresses and strains in two- and three-dimensional systems, and hookes law eulers buckling load and secant formula deflection of determinate beams using moment area and conjugate beam methods deflection of beams and rigid frames by energy methods redrawing of some diagrams content introduction simple stresses and strains compound stresses and strains theories of failure shear force and bending moment in statically stresses in beams deflection of beams by double integration method deflection of determinate beams using moment area and conjugate beam methods deflection of beams and rigid frames by energy methods torsion thin and thick cylinders and spheres columns and struts about the author: s s bhavikatti s s bhavikatti is emeritus professor, bvb college of engineering and technology, hubli.
