Excerpt from Strength of Materials
In preparing this book the author has had in mind primarily the needs of his own students in strength of materials. He hopes, however, that it will meet a real want in other colleges and technical schools also.
This book has been written with the aim of making intelligible the fundamental principles of the strength of materials without the formal use of the calculus. The works which do not use the ordinary calculus treatment usually omit some important parts such as the deflection of beams, strength of columns, horizontal shear, combined stresses, impact loads, etc. This book is designed to give a fairly complete course in the subject for students who have not had the calculus, or when graphical presentations are preferred. However, a separate chapter giving the derivation of the elastic curve of beams by the calculus method has been included for those who desire such treatment.
Effort has been made to present the derivation of the formulas in a clear and concise manner, in such a way as to enable the student to obtain an adequate comprehension of the principles involved. While the aim is to emphasize the elementary principles and to develop independent reasoning in the student, the ground covered is that usually given in a college course for engineering students. Many illustrative examples and problems are given for the purpose of making clear the application of the theory.
