KEY FEATURES • 100 per cent coverage of new syllabus • Emphasis on practice of numericals for guaranteed success in exams • Lucidity and simplicity maintained throughout • Nationally acclaimed author of over 40 books

For students of civil engineering, the basic course on strength of materials is not enough to start their engineering career. They need an advanced course like Mechanics of Structure to understand strength and stability of several components of civil engineering structures. Hence, Mechanics of Structure is taught to all polytechnic students of civil engineering. This book follows the West Bengal Polytechnic syllabus for civil engineering branch. It is written in SI units. Notations used are as per Indian standard codes. Apart from West Bengal Polytechnic students of civil engineering branch, it is hoped that the students of other states with similar syllabus may also find this book useful. KEY FEATURES • 100 per cent coverage of new syllabus • Emphasis on practice of numericals for guaranteed success in exams • Lucidity and simplicity maintained throughout • Nationally acclaimed author of over 40 books

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 author's 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 Hooke's law • Euler's 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

For undergraduate, introductory level courses in Statics and Strength of Materials, in departments of Mechanical Engineering Technology, Civil Engineering Technology, Construction Engineering Technology or Manufacturing Engineering Technology This text features a strong presentation of the fundamentals of strength of materials (or mechanics of materials) integrated with an emphasis on applications to many fields of engineering and engineering technology. The approach to mathematics use in the book satisfies both those programs where calculus use is expected and those for which college algebra and trigonometry are the prerequisite skills needed by the students.

This text is an established bestseller in engineering technology programs, and the Seventh Edition of Applied Strength of Materials continues to provide comprehensive coverage of the mechanics of materials. Focusing on active learning and consistently reinforcing key concepts, the book is designed to aid students in their first course on the strength of materials. Introducing the theoretical background of the subject, with a strong visual component, the book equips readers with problem-solving techniques. The updated Seventh Edition incorporates new technologies with a strong pedagogical approach. Emphasizing realistic engineering applications for the analysis and design of structural members, mechanical devices, and systems, the book includes such topics as torsional deformation, shearing stresses in beams, pressure vessels, and design properties of materials. A "big picture" overview is included at the beginning of each chapter, and step-by-step problem-solving approaches are used throughout the book. FEATURES Includes "the big picture" introductions that map out chapter coverage and provide a clear context for readers Contains everyday examples to provide context for students of all levels Offers examples from civil, mechanical, and other branches of engineering technology Integrates analysis and design approaches for strength of materials, backed up by real engineering examples Examines the latest tools, techniques, and examples in applied engineering mechanics This book will be of interest to students in the field of engineering technology and materials engineering as an accessible and understandable introduction to a complex field.

The book includes the elementary topics of the course on Strength of Materials for undergraduate programmes in engineering and technology. It is developed in the SI units adopting international notation and conventions. Several typical example problems are presented systemaically, and exercise problems are included to help candidates improve their concepts.

div="" style=""This fourth edition focuses on the basics and advanced topics in strength of materials. This is an essential guide to students, as several chapters have been rewritten and their scope has expanded. Four new chapters highlighting combined loadings, unsymmetrical bending and shear centre, fixed beams, and rotating rings, discs and cylinders have been added. New solved examples, multiple choice questions and short answer questions have been added to augment learning. The entire text has been thoroughly revised and updated to eliminate the possible errors left out in the previous editions of the book. This textbook is ideal for the students of Mechanical and Civil Engineering. ^
