Excerpt from The Elements of Mechanics of Materials: A Text for Students in Engineering CoursesThis is not a treatise on the Mechanics of Materials. The efforts of Merriman, Burr, Lanza, and others cover the field so thoroughly that there is no present need of such a work.It is' designed to be an elementary text-book for students in the engineering courses in colleges and universities, where the time allotted to the subject does not exceed three or four recitations per week, for one half year, and where the course is preceded by college courses in mathe maties, through integral calculus, mechanics, and physics.The extreme mathematical treatment of the subject has been avoided, but where the use of higher mathematics leads to clearness they have been freely used.As it is intended as a text-book, the general cases are discussed fully, leaving the student to derive the formulas for special cases as part of the regular problem work.At the end of each chapter there are review questions covering the more important parts of the subjects dis cussed and problems illustrating the same. The solution of one problem of each type has been given to show the application of the general formulas.The appendix contains tables giving the values of the engineering constants of materials and the formulas com mouly used in design, in addition to the tables usually found in books of this character.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
