Books on Solid mechanics-by R.K.Rajput, B.C.Punmia, Egor p. Popov, R.C.Hibbler

Hello Dear,

Are you looking for a good book to read Strength of materials?
Well I am going to list here few best works on this subject from Engineering studies.

"Which book is best to study the Solid Mechanics?", is one of the first questions that a student in the class ask to the teacher and teacher must have gone through all the possible books on the topic in the market. Students generally prefer to read the books which their teacher follows to prepare the lectures. It can be his own written book too.

If you are looking for the best suited book for the current syllabus in the Engineering colleges which contains some new topics like , Stress Tensors, Differential equation of static equilibrium, Octahedral stresses, Failure Theories etc, including the old topics like, stress and strains, columns, deflection of beams and unsymmetrical bending and shear center, then you will be worried about to find the best book which will contain all these topics.

There are various books on this subject by various authors like,

 R.K. Rajput,


Egor P. Popov,

 R.C.Hibbler,

B.C.Punmia

and numbers of other writers. I think the books mentioned here contains this syllabus mentioned above, except one topic, failure theories. The other way to study the failure theories is to search for the online lectures on the youtube or in the nptel website. Stress tensors and all similar topics are discussed in details in the book by Egor. P. Popov.
It is a book which is highly recommended by the experienced teachers in the field of Structural Engineering.
