BOOK

This book is written in such a way that it will help you to understand the basic concepts regarding the material properties and its strength criteria, behavior of various structural elements when subjected to different types of loads etc. The clear understanding of these concepts will pave the way to analyze and design various structures in the best possible way. The highlights of this book include,

1. Simple and understandable way of presenting the basic concepts that will help to mould the young engineering students and graduates with a strong foundation and coherent ideas pertaining to the strength and behavior of any structure subjected to any prescribed loading.

2. Even the minutest concepts are clearly explained with the help of vivid figures since pictorial representation could convey the ideas easily and is hence considered as the language of engineers.

3. The lucid and systematic way of presenting the concepts and finding solutions for the problems will help the reader grasp even complicated concepts with ease.

Patent

Patent Filed :“COST EFFECTIVE PASSIVE EXOSKELETON”, Application No: 202041010638

The present invention relates in general to devices for reducing human effort required for carrying loads, and in particular to a passive exoskeleton for carrying loads from one place to another by human beings. The exoskeleton of the present invention is designed to be very cost-effective, so that a large working force in developing countries is able to afford it.
