Strength of materials, also called mechanics of materials, is a subject which deals with the behavior of solid objects subject to stresses and strains. It consists of wide-ranging topics of Torsions, Bending Stress, Mohr’s Circle etc. The ultimate strength refers to the point on the engineering stress-strain curve corresponding to the stress that produces fracture.

Being a core subject of mechanical its weightage is on an average 10% of GATE exam so it becomes necessary to cover this subject.
