Strength of Materials - Mechanics of Solids (23rd Edition)

A Textbook of Strength of Materials: Mechanics of Solids (23rd Edition, SI Units)
By Dr. R.K. Bansal

Now in its many-times-revised form and organized into twenty-five chapters, this book has become one of the most widely used strength-of-materials texts in Indian engineering education. It's been thoroughly updated across successive editions, with numerical problems from various B.E. degree examinations added at proper places, and each chapter closes with highlights, theoretical questions, and unsolved numerical problems (with answers) so students can practice independently. Later editions added advanced topics — stresses due to rotation in thin and thick cylinders, bending of curved bars, and theories of failure — written in simple, self-study-friendly language, plus a large bank of objective-type multiple-choice questions of the kind asked in competitive examinations, complete with answers and explanations.

Topics commonly covered include:

• Simple stresses and strains
• Elastic constants
• Principal stresses and strains
• Strain energy and impact loading
• Shear force and bending moment diagrams
• Bending and shear stresses in beams
• Direct and bending stresses combined
• Torsion of shafts
• Deflection of beams
• Columns and struts, thin and thick cylinders

Key features:

• Twenty-five chapters covering both fundamental and advanced strength of materials topics
• Large number of solved numerical problems drawn from actual B.E. examinations
• Objective-type multiple-choice questions matching the format of major competitive exams
• Simple, self-study-friendly language suited even to average students
• Written by a professor with decades of teaching, research, and departmental leadership experience at Delhi College of Engineering

Perfect for:

• Mechanical and civil engineering undergraduates studying strength of materials
• Students preparing for competitive engineering examinations
• Students needing a self-study-friendly text for independent practice
• Faculty teaching strength of materials or mechanics of solids courses
