Description

The Subject “STRENGTH OF MATERIALS” is one of the core subjects which is studied by all engineering undergraduate students. It is a widely known fact there are various books in the market available on the subject written by renowned academicians. The Authors have always felt there is a necessity to bring out a book on this very important subject. The Authors have honestly felt the need of average students who felt difficulty in understanding the subject in its entirety objectively within a short span of three to four months in the present semester system. The Authors have also tried their level best to cover the syllabus precisely and in a cogent manner as per the syllabus of Indian universities so that it can be easily understood & assimilated by the majority, average & below average students which is our main objective in bringing out this book.
