Description
S Chand & Company Textbook of Strength of Materials Mechanics of Solids Si Units (Pb) by Khurmi R S And N Khurmi
About the book “Strength of Materials: Mechanics of Solids in SI Units” is an all-inclusive text for students as it takes a detailed look at all concepts of the subject. Distributed evenly in 32 chapters, important focusses are laid on stresses, strains, inertia, force, beams, joints and shells amongst others. Each chapter contains solved examples supported by exercises and chapter-end questions which aid to the understanding of the concepts explained. A book which has seen, foreseen and incorporated changes in the subject for close to 50 years, it continues to be one of the most sought after texts by the students for all aspects of the subject. Key Features 1. 32 chapters provide an in-depth coverage of every important concept in the subject. 2. Close to 1000 examples, figures and tables aid to the concepts explained. 3. Close to 600 in-text exercise questions and chapter-end questions add to the practice of the students. TOC : 1. Introduction 2. Mechanical Properties of Materials (Stress-Strain Diagram) 3.
