Synopsis

Excerpt from Handbook of Testing Materials, for the Constructor, Vol. 1 of 2: Part I. Methods, Machines, and Auxiliary Apparatus; Text

MY book on Testing Materials for the Constructor is designed to be a counsellor to the constructor in all questions relating to the properties of his materials of construction. Therefore the book is divided into two volumes, each inde pendent and complete in itself.

This first volume relates to the general properties of mate rials of construction, and especially to the art and science of testing materials as applied to machinery and superstructure.

To the description of the customary methods of testing I have added a presentation and discussion of the most important types of testing-machines and auxiliary apparatus, dwelling mainly upon the underlying principles of design, sources of errors, and on their calibration.
