Excerpt from An Introduction to Applied Mechanics: Applied Mechanics
Many engineering and architectural teachers have found that applied mechanics is not an easy subject to teach, and most students have discovered that it is a difficult subject to understand. In searching for the reason for this unfortunate state of affairs, the author came to the conclusion that the treatment of the older form of text-book was too much that of applied mathematics - a kind of exercise-ground for algebraic manipulation - and that many of the more modem books that have attempted to remedy this weakness have given too much engineering application of the principles of mechanics without sufficient explanation of those principles.
The aim of the present book is to present the elementary principles of mechanics in accurate though clear terms and to show the application of those principles to the simpler problems arising in engineering and architectural applications. The general treatment is based more upon graphical conceptions than upon purely mathematical analysis because experience shows that the mind of the engineering student reasons more clearly from diagrams than from symbols.
A number of simple experiments have been given, principally those which require the simplest form of apparatus. It is not suggested that the experiments given are all that are desirable in a laboratory course, but it is believed that sufficient have been given to make the principles clear.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is a foundational text on Applied Mechanics for engineering and architectural students. It offers a step-by-step approach emphasising graphical representations. The author presents the fundamental principles of mechanics, illustrated with numerous experiments that are easily recreated with simple apparatus. The concepts of vectors are introduced to represent forces, and this concept is extended to show how these principles apply to larger, more complex systems. This allows the author to demonstrate the important principles of moments and leverages, including the centre of gravity and principles of equilibrium. The book is written with clarity and accessible language that will be of great use to those beginning their study of mechanics. Tackling a subject that is often perceived as a difficult topic, the author carefully presents the necessary knowledge to enable the reader to gain a full understanding of the principles of Applied Mechanics. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781332047895_0
