Excerpt from The Graphical Statics of Mechanism: A Guide for the Use of Machinists, Architects, and Engineers and Also a Text-Book for Technical Schools
In all these determinations, however, friction and the special hurtful resistances to motion have not been taken into account. Heretofore all attempts to ascertain these hurtful resistances in machines, and' to determine the efficiency which is dependent upon them, and is of such great importance in practice, have been confined to the analytical method, which is often awkward and at times utterly inapplicable. No method is as yet known to me by which the frictional resistances and efficiency of any desired mechanism can be graphically determined. In my lectures on machinery in the polytechnic schools of this place I have endeavored to show the relations existing between the forces in mechanism in a simpler form than that offered by the analytical method. Out of that endeavor has grown the following treatise, which in reality amounts to nothing more than a wider application of the long known but little used angle of friction.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a comprehensive treatment of graphical statics as applied to mechanical systems. The author places graphical methods firmly within the context of the historical development of statics, emphasizing the power and accessibility of graphical tools for solving complex problems in engineering mechanics. The theoretical underpinnings of graphical statics are laid out systematically before moving into detailed case studies that demonstrate the methodology's utility in the analysis of machine components and mechanisms. The author provides readers with a wealth of practical examples to illustrate key concepts, and derives general equations that can be applied to various mechanical systems. This book will be useful to students, practicing engineers, and researchers alike for its deep insights and straightforward presentation of a powerful and versatile analytical tool.
