Synopsis
Excerpt from Useful Information for Engineers: Containing Experimental Researches on the Collapse of Boiler Flues and the Strength of Materials, and Lectures on Popular Education and Various Subjects Connected With Mechanical Engineering, Iron Shipbuilding, the Properties of Steam, Etc
The Lectures on Iron Shipbuilding are on a question of such deep importance that I make no apology for their introduction into this series. When it is known that the most disastrous and fatal consequences have followed from the construction of vessels on erroneous principles, and that thousands of lives are at the mercy of our naval engineers and architects, assuredly it is essential to the in terests of humanity that defects and errors of construction should be pointed out and sounder principles applied. If we examine closely into the state of iron shipbuilding, it will be found that numbers of vessels are built and are now afloat which are perfectly unseaworthy, that our knowledge of first principles is far from perfect, and that a remedy should be immediately applied to avert the calamitous and fatal shipwrecks which so frequently fill the columns of the public prints.

Useful Information for Engineers (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents readers with a series of experimental investigations and innovative ideas that are the product of over 30 years' research by the author. Conducted jointly by the Royal Society and the British Association for the Advancement of Science, these experiments were designed to provide a holistic and data-driven approach to the study of wrought iron. As such, the book is the culmination of decades of research, spanning the disciplines of engineering, applied mathematics and theoretical physics. It provides essential knowledge on the mechanical properties of iron and steel, including tensile strength, elastic modulus and yield strength. However, rather than simply present a list of data and statistics, the author uses these experimental results to develop and enhance existing analytical tools, suggesting innovative uses for them, including the creation of more efficient and safer steam engines and boilers. The book will be beneficial to anyone with an interest in practical engineering and theoretical physics, or the history of science. 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 # 9781334183980_0
