The book extensively covers shear force and bending moments, encompassing definitions and graphical representations of various beams according to their support conditions and loading types such as cantilever beams, fixed beams, simply supported beams, and continuous beams. Additionally, it explores the concepts of the point of contra flexure and point of zero shear force. The book includes problems on shear force and bending moment diagrams, detailing the interrelations between them, enabling readers to derive the bending moment diagram from the shear force diagram and vice versa. Overall,...

The book covers stress and strain definitions, tensile and compressive stresses, shear stresses, temperature stresses, and related problems. It also explores stress-strain diagrams for ductile and brittle materials, concepts such as the elastic limit, Hooke's law, modulus of rigidity and bulk modulus. This book includes bars of Uniform sections, Bars of varying sections, an equivalent area of the compound section, Problems based on lateral strain and Poisson's ratio, the volumetric strain of cylindrical rod, and problems based on it. It contains over 50 problems to help readers grasp these...
