Assistant Executive Engineer (AEE) and Assistant Engineer (AE) are the government posts where Civil Engineers will be recruited in different departments like Irrigation, Rural, Roads, CAD, Ground Water, Tribal Welfare and more. There is a heavy competition for getting the AE and AEE government jobs in different states. ACE Academy is giving one of the top most quality in AE and AEE Government Exams coaching.

The main aim of strength of materials is to access various properties of materials and use them according to the requirement.
Strength : Ability of a material to resist external load against failure.
Note :
The primary design parameter is strength.
All the designs of engineering are strength based design only.
Stiffness : Ability to resist deformation is stiffness. Stiffness is the secondary design parameter.
Increase in deflection will decreases the stiffness and increases the flexible.
Assumptions :
1. Material is solid and continuous. No cracks in the material and no voids in the material.
2. Material are homogeneous and Isotropic.
All the base materials without any mixture is called Homogeneous.
Note : Wood is a homogeneous but not Isotropic. Brass is a Isotropic but not homogeneous.
All homogeneous material need not be isotropic and vice versa but few homogeneous materials are also Isotropic.
Ortho = Perpendicular
Tropic = Direction Point
At one point in perpendicular direction but properties are different.
Example : Layered material are orthotropic like wood, coal, mica, asbestos.
Anisotropic (or) Aleotropic (or) Non Isotropic : At any one point in different direction properties are different. Example : Materials with voids and cracks.
Homogeneous + Isotropic : At any points in any direction property is same.
Example : Iron, Gold, Silver
Limitations :
1. All the loads acting over a member should be within proportionality limit. The members must be linearly elastic.
2. The slopes and deflections due to loading must be as small as possible.
3. Super position principle is not valid for impact load, strain energies, deep beams. In case of deep beams due to loading torsion develops which makes distortion in the shape. Therefore the principle is not valid.
4. Circular shaft subjected to torsion super position is valid, non circular shaft with torsion the principle is not valid.
5. Long columns, sinking of supports, this principle is not valid.
Elasticity : A material which regains its orginal size and shape on removal of load.
Plasticity : A material undergoes permanent deformation at constant loading is plasticity.
Ductility : The property by which the material can be made into thin wire.
Ductility is related to tension. It is strong in tension and weak in shear, moderate in compression.
Malleability : The property by which the material is made into thin sheets. It is related to compression by pressing or rolling.
Brittle : It fails suddenly such a material is called as Brittle. Brittle materials are strong in compression, moderate in shear, weak in tension.
Toughness : Resistance of a material against sudden or impact loading.
Fatigue : Reduction of a material due to repeated loading is fatigue
