Strength of Materials by Timoshenko :: Book Description: Strength of Materials, Part 1, Elementary theory and problems book has a considerable number of new problems were added and answers to many of the old problems inserted. This book was expanded by the addition of two new chapters, namely Chapter VIII which deals with bending of beams in a plane which is not a plane of symmetry and Chapter XII on the bending of curved bars. In Chapter VIII the notion of shear center which is of great practical importance in the case of thin walled structures is introduced.

Strength of materials by Stephen Timoshenko is highly acclaimed work by the writer and this book is popular all over the world. Timoshenko, being a Ukrainian and later an American Engineer is considered as the Father of modern Engineering Mechanics. He has written in various areas like mechanics, elasticity and strength of materials, his books are still used widely.

In this edition of “Strength of Materials”, a considerable number of new questions are added. In addition to these, two more chapters on “bending of beams” and “bending of curved bars” are added to keep the book up to date.

This book is solely dedicated to those, who want to dive deep into the subject and it is the favorite book for many question makers for various competitive examinations. These books are often called as the Bible of Strength of Materials.
