I am glad to present the book entitled “A textbook of Strength of Materials” to the engineering students of mechanical, civil, electrical, aeronautical and chemical and also to the students of A.M.I.E. examination of Engineering (India). The course-contents have been planned in such a way that the general requirements of all engineering students are fulfilled. … Read more
Soil mechanics originated several decades ago under the pressure of necessity. As the practical problems involving soils broadened in scope, the inadequacy of the scientific tools available for coping with them became increasingly apparent. Efforts to remedy the situation started almost simultaneously in the United States and in Europe, and within short period they produced … Read more
In the near future, energy is converted as a luxury item and water is considered as the most vital item in the world due to reduction of water resources in most areas. In this condition, role of water science researchers is more important than ever. If a water engineering student is not educated well, he/she … Read more
Fluid mechanics is encountered in almost every area of our physical lives. Blood flows through our veins and arteries, a ship moves through water and water flows through rivers, airplanes fly in the air and air flows around wind machines, air is compressed in a compressor and steam expands around turbine blades, a dam holds … Read more
Prior to the development of quantitative structural theories in the mid-18th century and since, builders relied on an intuitive and highly developed sense of structural behavior. The advent of modern mathematical modeling and numerical methods has to a large extent replace this skill with a reliance on computer generated solutions to structural problems. Professor Hardy … Read more
