Strength of materials : fundamentals and applications / T. D. Gunneswara Rao, Mudimby Andal. - xi, 670 pages 24 cm.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

Stress-strain -- Elastic constants -- Shear force and bending moment -- Bending stress -- Flexural shear stress -- Analysis of trusses -- Deflection of beams -- Analysis of cylinders -- Torsion -- Principal streses -- Coiled springs -- Columns and struts -- Analysis of members under combined loading -- Unsymmetrical bending and shear center -- Rotating dics -- Stresses in curved bars -- Deflection of trusses.

While designing engineering structures, whether they are supporting girders, shock absorbers, or wings of an aircraft, an understanding of structural behavior and the influence of stresses is necessary. Written with a distinct approach of explaining concepts through solved problems this text discusses all fundamental concepts of the strength of materials including stress, strain, elastic constants, shear force, bending moment, and bending stress. The study of flexural shear stress, conjugate beam method, method of sections and joints, statically determinate trusses, and thin cylinders is presented in detail with the help of solved numerical exercises. The text also discusses advanced concepts of strength of materials such as shear center, rotating discs, unsymmetrical bending, and deflection of trusses--
