Excerpt from Strength of Materials: A Text Book for Technical, and Industrial Schools
This text is the result of over twelve years' experience in teaching the subject of strength of materials to the students at Pratt Institute. An attempt has been made to present the fundamental and underlying principles with a minimum of mathematics. These principles are applied by the introduction of a large number of examples which are worked out in detail. It is only by the working of original problems that the student is able to test his knowledge of the subject.
Many of the applications are made more particularly to mechanical lines of work, and yet the student who proposes to follow structural work will find the text of great help to him.
The text covers the application of strength of materials in the proportioning of beams, columns, shafting, riveted joints, and in problems dealing with simple stresses.
Chapter I has been made of an introductory nature, the desire being to present very briefly, but concisely, the simple laws of equilibrium, so that the student may be able quickly and accurately to analyze the forces acting in any machine or machine part.
A chapter is inserted dealing with the testing, and the production of the more common materials of construction.
