Applied Mechanics and Strength of Materials

Applied Mechanics and Strength of Materials offer a comprehensive treatment of the principles that govern the behavior of structures and materials under the action of forces.
The book is organized into two major sections:
•
Applied Mechanics: Fundamentals of force systems, equilibrium, friction, centroid and moment of inertia, kinematics and kinetics of particles and rigid bodies.
•
Strength of Materials: Stress and strain relationships, elastic constants, torsion, shear force and bending moment, bending and shear stresses in beams, deflection of beams, columns, riveted and welded joints, and energy methods.
Each chapter begins with fundamental theory, followed by solved examples, diagrams, and practice problems that reinforce understanding.
Emphasis is placed on connecting theoretical derivations with practical design situations encountered in real engineering systems.
Designed for students of civil, mechanical, and structural engineering, this book also serves as a reference for practitioners preparing for competitive examinations or
seeking to strengthen their foundation. By blending theory with application, it aims to develop not only computational ability but also the engineering intuition needed for safe and efficient design.
