Description
Wiley India Strength Of Materials 2019 by R K Kaushik
This book comprehensively covers all the major topics involving application of concepts of strength of materials which a mechanical engineer encounters day to day. Structural and machine elements which come under the purview of this subject and covered in the book are: beams of all kinds; thin and thick cylinders and spherical cells; columns and struts; bars; discs and cylinders; springs; frames; dams; trusses and so on. Solid mechanics parameters covered in the book are all the types of stresses and strains, torsion, bending moments, moments of inertia, centre of gravity, elastic constants, and so on. Various theories of elastic failure have been covered in a focused chapter.
