Synopsis
Excerpt from Lessons in Applied Mechanics
The present volume consists in great measure of selections from the matter contained in a larger treatise 1 on the same subject, of which it may there fore in a certain sense be described as an abridged edition. The portions selected have, however, been completely rearranged and rewritten in fuller detail with much additional illustration, and the whole con sequently forms a virtually new book, which, being smaller in compass and more elementary in Character, may, it is hoped, serve as an introduction to the larger work, and meet the wants of junior students.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a thorough introduction to the principles of applied mechanics, starting with basic concepts then moving on to more complex topics, including a discussion of screw motion. The author begins with a survey of mensuration and curve construction, since an understanding of these is required for further study of applied mechanics. The author explains how to determine the moment of inertia and other properties of shape required to solve mechanics problems. The book also covers more complex topics like projectiles, friction, and the analysis of forces in various mechanical systems, including pulleys, belts, gears, and brakes. The author includes worked examples throughout and concludes with valuable information on experimental results and strength of materials, considering elasticity, testing, and impact resistance. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781332020348_0
