This text provides comprehensive coverage all the major topics involving the application of concepts of strength of materials which a mechanical engineer will encounter. Structural and machine elements covered include: beams of all kinds; thin and thick cylinders and spherical cells; columns and struts; bars; discs and cylinders; springs; frames; dams; and trusses. Solid mechanics parameters covered include all types of stresses and strains, torsion, bending moments, moments of inertia, centre of gravity, and elastic constants. Various theories of elastic failure are also covered. A dedicated chapter on mechanical testing of materials will help students in understanding how the strength of materials is determined in laboratory conditions. More than 300 chapter end questions are provided. The text is supplemented with line diagrams. Topics are discussed in a sequence of gradually increasing level of difficulty. More complex topics such as principal stresses, theory of failure, bending of curved bars, thick cylinders, strain energy, continuous beams, fixed beams are clearly explained to be accessible to all students.
