Description Strength of Materials deals with the study of theeffect of forces and moments on the deformation of a body. Thisbook follows a simple approach along with numerous solved andunsolved problems to explain the basics followed by advancedconcepts such as three dimensional stresses, the theory of simplebending, theories of failure, mechanical properties, materialtesting and engineering materials. andbull; Large number of solved examples andbull; More than 700 figures for understanding the concepts inan easy and lucid manner andbull; 394 unsolved problems with answers andbull; 133 review questions andbull; 193 multiple-choice questions with answers Preface Chapter 1 Simple Stresses and Strains Chapter 2 Composite Bars and Temperature Stresses Chapter 3 Principal Stresses and Strains
