The behaviour of materials when subjected to different types of loads is of basic interest to engineers. This book, developed for an introductory course on strength of materials for engineering and architecture courses, provides a comprehensive coverage of the concepts and principles of mechanics of materials in clear and easy-to-understand language. Students will appreciate the large number of worked-out examples and exercises that have been included to give them an exposure to a variety of situations requiring analysis of systems for their strength under stress.
