Book
Elements of Strength of Materials
This classic textbook provides a foundational introduction to the mechanics of deformable bodies, specifically tailored for undergraduate engineering students. In this third edition, the authors have expanded the material to include detailed discussions on the bending of beams in non-symmetrical planes and the bending of curved bars. The text establishes fundamental principles of stress and strain, utilizing simplified analytical methods such as Mohr’s circle for combined stresses and the area-moment method for beam deflections. Covering essential topics from torsion and shearing force to statically indeterminate systems and impact stresses, this work balances theoretical derivation with practical problem-solving to equip students with the tools necessary for structural design and reliability analysis.
