Hello B.Tech students,
Mechanics of Solids is a core subject that is usually offered to students pursuing their B.Tech in Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, and related branches in most Indian universities including AKTU (Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Technical University). Mechanics of Solids is an important subject for B.tech students in their second year under AKTU. It deals with the study of forces and deformations on rigid and deformable bodies. The subject emphasizes the analysis of the behavior of materials under different types of loads, such as tension, compression, bending, and shear. Students learn about stress, strain, and their relationship, as well as the mechanical properties of materials, including elasticity, plasticity, and fracture. The subject also covers topics such as torsion, deflection of beams, and the stability of columns. Through this subject, students gain a fundamental understanding of the mechanics of solids, which is essential for designing and analyzing various mechanical components and structures.
I am sharing Mechanics of Solids question bank with answers and solutions in Q&A format for engineering/BTech second year. This is available as a PDF file for free download below.
