The book includes the elementary topics of the course on ‘Strength of Materials’ for undergraduate programmes in engineering and technology. It is developed in the SI units adopting international notation and conventions. Several typical example problems are presented systematically, and exercise problems are included to help candidates improve their concepts. The book, written in simple language, explains the theoretical concepts and helps develop problem solving abilities in students.
