Strength of Materials - Mechanical Engineering (MCQ) questions and answers
Dear Readers, Welcome to Strength of Materials multiple choice questions and answers with explanation. These objective type Strength of Materials questions are very important for campus placement test, semester exams, job interviews and competitive exams like GATE, IES, PSU, NET/SET/JRF, UPSC and diploma.
Specially developed for the Mechanical Engineering freshers and professionals, these model questions are asked in the online technical test and interview of many companies.
These tutorial are also important for your viva in university exams like Anna university, Pune, VTU, UPTU, CUSAT etc.
