Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a comprehensive guide to the strength of materials and structures, focusing on their natural properties and how they are tested and measured by scientific processes. The author's approach starts with an introduction to the physical properties of materials, particularly in regard to their strength and elasticity, with later chapters discussing the characteristics of cast iron, wrought iron, steel, copper, and timber. The book also covers the resistance of materials to torsion, shearing, and punching, and to transverse strains, conjoined with impact and vibration. Finally, the author concludes with a section covering the strength of structures, detailing the correct forms and best arrangements of materials for optimum strength and minimum weight and cost. The author deftly condenses the subject in such a way as to be accessible to a general audience, making this book an excellent resource for those interested in materials science or the strength of structures.
