Summary:

About the Book: Solid mechanics is a basic course taught to all engineering students in their first year itself. By going through this course, students develop analytical skill like applying laws of mechanics to engineering problems, splitting big practical problems into a number of smaller ones and solving them maintaining the continuity with each other. The theories involved are explained clearly through a number of solved problems with neat free body diagrams, wherever required. All problems are solved systematically without skipping any step to make procedure clear. SI units and the standard notations as suggested by IS code are used throughout. The book is written as per the latest syllabus of Gujarat Technical University. Contents: Introduction to Mechanics of Solids Fundamentals of Statics Trusses Distributed Forces, Centre of Gravity and Moment of Inertia Friction Simple Machines Physical and Mechanical Properties of Structural Materials Simple Stresses and Strains Beams Stresses in Beams Principal Stresses and Strains
