Synopsis

This textbook has been written for the engineering students. This textbook covers the essentials of solid mechanics with reference to basic load-bearing members―straight bars, thin-walled cylindrical and spherical pressure vessels, circular shafts, beams undergoing simple bending, and columns. It concisely elucidates the corresponding fundamental assumptions, important equations, and their range of validity without formal derivations. Subsequently, this textbook contains several carefully selected examples to illustrate sequence of steps in the analysis of forces, stresses and displacements, or stability. It further deals with combined loading, stress and strain transformations, energy methods, and failure analysis using commonly employed criteria. This textbook is a handy, yet complete, resource for graduate and postgraduate engineering students. It will also be a ready reference for a practicing engineers or graduate students preparing for an interview or a competitive examination.

About the Author

Prof. K. Bhaskar has been with the Department of Aerospace Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology, Madras, since 1992. As part of the Structures Group, he teaches courses related to solid mechanics and elasticity. He has published more than forty-five papers, primarily related to theoretical modeling of thick-laminated structures, in several national and international journals.

Prof. T. K. Varadan was with the Department of Aerospace Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology, Madras, for about thirty-five years before retiring in 2001. Besides teaching a wide variety of courses related to structural mechanics and design, he has made significant research contributions in the areas of nonlinear vibrations and composite structures, with more than one hundred refereed publications.
