Excerpt from Handbook of Testing Materials, for the Constructor, Vol. 1 of 2: Part I. Methods, Machines, and Auxiliary Apparatus; Text
MY book on Testing Materials for the Constructor is designed to be a counsellor to the constructor in all questions relating to the properties of his materials of construction. Therefore the book is divided into two volumes, each inde pendent and complete in itself.
This first volume relates to the general properties of mate rials of construction, and especially to the art and science of testing materials as applied to machinery and superstructure.
To the description of the customary methods of testing I have added a presentation and discussion of the most important types of testing-machines and auxiliary apparatus, dwelling mainly upon the underlying principles of design, sources of errors, and on their calibration.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the world of testing materials and the valuable insights they provide about the properties of construction materials. It explores the mechanical, physical, and chemical properties of various materials, and examines how these properties affect their behavior under stress and deformation. The book goes beyond mere explanations and explores the historical context of the study of materials testing, discussing the contributions of early pioneers in the field and the evolution of testing methods and machinery. The book takes a deep dive into the various techniques used to measure changes in shape and stress, from simple measurements using rulers and gauges to the use of mirrors, micrometers and specialized equipment. It also covers the intricacies of interpreting results from tests on tension, compression, bending, impact, and hardness, providing a thorough understanding of the behavior of materials under different loading conditions. The author emphasizes the importance of standardized testing methods and provides guidance on the selection of appropriate tests for specific materials and applications. The book also discusses the impact of environmental factors such as temperature and humidity on material properties, making it an essential resource for engineers and researchers working with materials in diverse environments. Through its comprehensive coverage and in-depth analysis, this book not only equips readers with the technical knowledge for testing materials but also provides a deeper understanding of the fundamental principles governing the behavior of construction materials, making it an invaluable resource for anyone involved in the field of materials science and engineering.
