Strength of materials

Strength of materials notes for mechanical engineering students. Strength of materials app consist fundamental concepts to learn and analyse forces in bodies. Strength of materials is helpful for all engineering & technical colleges and universities syllabus to learn explore skills.

Strength of materials is almost cover important topics chapter wise

Chapter :1

Mechanical properties of materials: Ductility, malleability, hardness, toughness, fatigue, creep; behavior

of materials under tension, compression, bending, shear; ductile and brittle materials, failure of MS and

CI in tension and torsion

Stress and strain: stresses in members of a structure, axial loading, normal stress, shear stress, bearing

stress, analysis of simple structures, stepped rods, members in series and parallel: stress strain diagram,

Hooke’s law, modulus of elasticity, elastic and plastic behavior of materials, deformation under axial

loading, statically indeterminate problems, stress due to temperature, Poisson’s ratio, Bulk modulus, shear

strain, relation among elastic constants, residual stress, fiber reinforced composite materials, strain energy

under axial loads and stresses due to impact of falling weights.

Chapter :2

Transformation of stress and strain, principal stresses, normal and shear stress, Mohr’s circle and its

application to two and three dimensional analysis, ductile and brittle failures, transmission shaft under

combined bending and torsion; stresses in thin walled pressure vessel
