Excerpt from New Formulas for the Loads and Deflections of Solid Beams and Girders
The aim of the Author, when he commenced the Essay which he now ventures to submit to the criticism of his fellow engineers, was to obtain a set of formulas for the loads and deflections of solid beams, strictly based on the assumption ut tensio sic m'a, but not vitiated by the absurd restriction to the full meaning of the maxim, which seems hitherto to have been the stumbling-block in the way of any honest investigation of the subject, viz. That the neutral surface must in all cases pass through the centre of gravity of every section of the beam.
The clear and simple meaning of the maxim is, that if any given force is capable of producing a certain amount of exten sion or compression, double the force would produce double the amount of extension or compression; not that the absolute amounts of extension or compression produced by the same force would be equal - an assumption which is identical with the assumption that the neutral surface passes through the centre of gravity of each section.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the study of mechanics, specifically the behavior of solid beams under the influence of applied forces. The author begins by challenging the assumption that the neutral surface must always pass through the center of gravity of a beam's cross-section, a concept crucial to understanding how beams respond to external forces such as bending and deflection. Through theoretical investigations and comparisons to experimental results, the author establishes new formulas that accurately predict the loads and deflections of beams under various conditions. This book not only advances the understanding of beam mechanics but also provides valuable insights for engineers in designing structures involving beams, ensuring the safety and efficiency of their designs.
