A Text Book Of Strength Of Materials

It gives us great pleasure in publishing this text book on "Strength of Materials" for the students of Second Year Degree Course in Mechanical, Mechanical Sandwich and Automobile Engineering. This book is strictly written according to New Revised Credit System Syllabus of Savitribai Phule Pune University (2015 Pattern).

As per the policy of the University, Engineering Syllabi is revised every five years. Last revision was in the year 2012. New revision is coming little earlier, as university has introduced Online System of Examination from year 2012.

As per the New Credit System, the In Sem (Online) Examinations (Combined Phase-I and Phase-II) will be conducted based on first, second, third and fourth units. The Online examinations will have objective types of questions with multiple choices. End Semester Examination will be based on all the six units and that will be conducted in traditional way and the Theory Course will have 4 credits.

The subject ‘Strength of Materials’ is a foundation stone for any Engineering Course. Today, Engineering applications are mostly interdisciplinary, involving basics of various fundamental subjects. One of such subject of vital importance is ‘Strength of Materials’. The present text is aimed at catering the needs of students appearing for Second Year Degree Course in Mechanical Engineering and Other Competitive Examinations.
