Mechanics Of Materials : With Programs In C

An abundance of worked-out examples, depicting realistic situations encountered in engineering design, are aimed to develop skills for analysis and design of components. To broaden the student’s capacity for adopting other forms of solving problems, a few typical problems are presented in C programming language at the end of each chapter.

The book is primarily suitable for a one-semester course for B.E./B.Tech students and diploma-level students pursuing courses in civil engineering, mechanical engineering and its related branches of engineering profession such as production engineering, industrial engineering, automobile engineering and aeronautical engineering. The book can also be used to advantage by students of electrical engineering where an introductory course on mechanics of materials is prescribed.
