Sinopsis

Master the core ideas of strength of materials with practical, worked problems.

This classic reference organizes fundamental topics—from tension, compression, and shear to elastic deformation and beam design—into accessible, problem‑driven lessons. It guides you through typical engineering scenarios and teaches you how to apply concepts to real‑world calculations.


With a focus on hands‑on problem solving, the text helps you build confidence in selecting safe designs and understanding how different loading conditions affect materials and structures. It also provides clear examples that connect theory to practice.



  • Work through problems on tension, compression, shear, and deflection to reinforce core ideas

  • Explore elastic deformation, thin cylinders, riveted joints, and beam concepts

  • Learn to determine factors of safety, limits of stress, and design margins

  • Practice with varied scenarios that mirror engineering challenges in real projects


Ideal for students and professionals preparing for exams or applying strength‑of‑materials concepts in engineering work.

Reseña del editor

Excerpt from Problems in Strength of Materials

For the average student to Obtain a working knowledge Of any scientific subject it is necessary that he solve numerous problems. This is especially true in the study Of mechanics. In teaching Strength of Materials the author has found that the text-books do not give a sufficient number of examples to completely familiarize the student with the application of the theory.

The aim Of this book is to furnish a large variety of problems on each part of the subject, and thus relieve the instructor of tedious dictation in the class room.

A discussion of riveted joints is given for use in the computation and design Of such joints as, are often found in boiler construction.

NO definite notation is adopted in order that the book may be used in connection with a course of lectures or with any text-book on the subject.

Tables at the back Of the book give all the data necessary for solving the problems, but answers have been omitted in order to emphasize that the goal is a proper solution and not a mere numerical answer.
