GATE 2019: GATE Study material for Strength of Materials

This article is of study material of mechanical engineering subject, 'Strength of materials'. This subject is one of the most important subjects of mechanical/civil engineering due to basics of engineering is associated with it.

Here I am sharing my study material/notes during GATE preparation in 2006 when I was in final year. Click on the link and you will be redirected to where you can download each page of my notes. Serial numbers are same as the page number of the material notes.

Also, read the GATE preparation tips.
