Excerpt from The Strength of Materials It is chiefly for the benefit of those users of materials of construction who are disposed to be their own engineers that this series of articles is written, but it is hoped that they will not on that account be without interest to members of the engineering profession. It is intended to present some facts and figures which will show that because a metal is called by the name iron it does not therefore necessarily possess a definite strength, but that its strength should first be determined by test; that published records of tests are not always to be relied upon; that many tests them selves are not reliable; and that in using any material in construction not only its strength but its other properties should be considered.

Excerpt from Text-Book on the Strength of Materials To utilize the material so obtained, the text has been thoroughly revised. In making this revision the aim of the authors has been twofold: first, to keep the text abreast of the most recent practical developments of the subject; and second, to simplify the method of presentation so as to make the subject easily intelligible to the avera'ge technical student of junior grade, as well as to lessen the work of instruction.

Excerpt from Strength of Materials It is assumed that the reader has completed the Integral Calculus, and has taken a course in Theoretical Mechanics which includes statics and the moment of inertia of plane areas. Chap ters XVI and XVII give a brief discussion Of center of gravity and moment Of inertia. Students who have not mastered these subjects should study these chapters before taking up Chapter V (preferably before beginning Chapter I).

Excerpt from The Strength of Materials: A d104-Book for Engineers and Architects The subjects commonly called respectively the Strength of Materials and the Theory of Structures have much in common; much of the subject matter contained in the author's books upon the latter subject has, therefore, been incorporated, the same general method involving the use and application of graphical methods in preference to purely mathematical methods having been adopted in the other branches of the subject. An attempt has been made to present more clearly than is general the various theories as to the cause of failure in materials and the effect of these theories upon design. Although the author hopes that the book will be especially useful for students reading for the Assoc. M. Inst. 0. E., and University degree examinations in Engineering, he has attempted to present the subject in sufficiently practical form for it to be of greater assistance in practical design than is the case with an ordinary class book; with this in view many diagrams and tables have been incorporated for. Enabling the formulae to be applied with a minimum of time and trouble. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Structural Engineering Strength of Materials A structure is a part or assemblage of parts forming an engineering construction, subjected to loads, which are known, and which the structure is required to sustain or hold in equilibrium.

Excerpt from Problems in Strength of Materials For the average student to Obtain a working knowledge Of any scientific subject it is necessary that he solve numerous problems. This is especially true in the study Of mechanics. In teaching Strength of Materials the author has found that the text-books do not give a sufficient number of examples to completely familiarize the student with the application of the theory. The aim Of this book is to furnish a large variety of problems on each part of the subject, and thus relieve the instructor of tedious dictation in the class room. A discussion of riveted joints is given for use in the computation and design Of such joints as, are often found in boiler construction. NO definite notation is adopted in order that the book may be used in connection with a course of lectures or with any text-book on the subject. Tables at the back Of the book give all the data necessary for solving the problems, but answers have been omitted in order to emphasize that the goal is a proper solution and not a mere numerical answer.

Excerpt from Laboratory Notes on the Strength of Materials These notes are the outgrowth of several previous editions, the first of which was prepared by Professor H. F. Moore, of the University of Illinois. In the present edition more complete instructions relating to the methods of testing, new experiments, and notes on the manufacture of the ferrous metals and cements have been added.
