Synopsis
Excerpt from Testing of Methods for the Determination of Young's Modulus by Bending: Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in Physics in the Graduate School of the University of Illinois, 1916
Many attempts have been made to determine the exact relation between the stress and strain of a body. Among the early scientists this field of investigation was leading in thought and effort. As thought and reason did not have the dominant influence, men were handicapped in not having the benefit of a scientific past as men have today. Consequently, they proceeded on very far fetched assumptions. From common experience they noticed that a beam would bend under a stress but did not recognize a definite relation between the bending and the force producing it. This, however, was a minor part in this vast field. What took place within the bent ohject was a matter of serious thought and controversy. It took nearly a century and a half before men discovered and were able to calculate the exact relation between the longitudinal and lateral forces within the strained object. Theoretical and experimental investigations went hand in hand until at present there is a vast wealth of data showing the relation between stresses and the strains and also the phenomena which takes place within the distorted body. So many methods have been developed to show these relations that one has to choose those best adapted to his conditions.
It is the purpose of this investigation to determine what methods are best adapted for use in an advanced laboratory course to show the relation between stresses and strains.

Testing of Methods for the Determination of Young's Modulus by Bending
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a delightful dive into the world of 17th and 18th-century scientific advancements in understanding the elasticity of materials through the investigation of bending and stress in bars and beams. The author presents several methods for determining Young's Modulus, a measure of a material's stiffness. The introduction to the book provides a brief history of the field, beginning with the work of Galileo and Hooke, and demonstrates how the methods for determining Young's Modulus have evolved. The author also explains in detail the apparatus and methods used in each of the experiments and presents the collected data in well-organized tables. The book concludes with a discussion of the sources of error that can affect the accuracy of the results and an examination of the advantages and limitations of each method. This makes for an engaging read for anyone interested in the history of science, the mechanics of materials, or the methods used to determine the properties of materials. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
