About this ebook

Strength of materials, also called mechanics of materials, deals with the behavior of solid objects subject to stresses and strains. The complete theory began with the consideration of the behavior of one and two dimensional members of structures, whose states of stress can be approximated as two dimensional, and was then generalized to three dimensions to develop a more complete theory of the elastic and plastic behavior of materials. An important founding pioneer in mechanics of materials was Stephen Timoshenko.The study of strength of materials often refers to various methods of calculating the stresses and strains in structural members, such as beams, columns, and shafts. The methods employed to predict the response of a structure under loading and its susceptibility to various failure modes takes into account the properties of the materials such as its yield strength, ultimate strength, Young's modulus, and Poisson's ratio; in addition the mechanical element's macroscopic properties (geometric properties), such as its length, width, thickness, boundary constraints and abrupt changes in geometry such as holes are considered.

About the author

Shivendra Nandan is the former State Representative (Technical Education) of the Government of Rajasthan. He provided eminent support in the implementation of the National Education Policy in Technical Education. Being a Chartered Engineer and Gold Medalist in his Bachelor, his Ideas were selected for review in the Idea and Innovation exhibition organized by the Council of Science and Technology UP and Got the prize.

He is a member of prestigious engineering societies such as the International Association of Engineers, Institution of Engineers (India), ASME, and ASHRAE. In the field of research, he begins with articles in different domains such as Thermal, Renewable energy, and Design Aspects. Later on, he constrained himself in the field of soft materials and computational mechanics. Later on, he became a reviewer of more than 10 prestigious journals and editor of "Futuristics Trends in Mechanical Engineering Journal".

He is the Host and Anchor of "Talk Show on Mechanical Engineering", which is declared as one of the Top 20 Podcasts on Mechanical Engineering in 2021 by Welp magazine. Further, he is serving as Design Engineer in Mercedes-Benz Research & Development India (MBRDI), Pune.
