Strength of Materials | Mechanical & Civil Engineering | Second Edition | By Pearson (Paperback)  | Released: 28-Sep-17

Pearson introduces the second edition of Strength of Materials - a complete offering for the undergraduate students of mechanical and civil engineering. Using a simple and student-friendly approach, this text provides a comprehensive treatment of the fundamental concepts and principles supported by a large number of line-diagrams and figures. Apt for self-study by the students, the book lays down a strong foundation for problem- solving abilities in strength of materials.Features?Balanced approach between theory and numericals with concepts explained in detailed.? Advanced concepts such as three dimensional stresses, the theory of simple bending, theories of failure, mechanical properties, material testing and engineering materials.? Excellent Pedagogy including questions from previous year question papers of Indian universities.? Step-by-step methodology provided for solved examples.?
