The Elastic Strength of Guns (Classic Reprint) - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

Excerpt from The Elastic Strength of Guns

This little book was prepared primarily for use by the midship men at the U. S. Naval Academy. It essays to present the subject of the elastic strength of guns as c'oncisely as is consistent with clearness, and to that end treats only of steel guns of modern con struction, built-up or wire-wound.

The hypothesis that permanent set will not occur unless the resultant strain in some direction exceeds the limit of elastic strain, regardless of what the stresses may be, is adopted. This hypothesis appears to the writer' to be the only reasonable one, but it is to be regretted that its truth has never been demonstrated experimentally.
