Excerpt from The Mechanics of Engineering: Intended for Use in Universities, and in Colleges of Engineers
Mechanical Powers; - a tradition derived from the later Greek'writers, and quite unsuited to the present state of Mechanism. The classification of the Elements of Ma chines which I have adopted, (in Chapter I.) is borrowed in a great measure from that which Professor Willis has usually employed in his Lectures, and is about to publish in his work on Mechanism. The subject of Oblique Arches has not, so far as I have seen, been hitherto treated on Statical principles. As one of the most re markable steps ever made in structure, it cannot fail to excite the curiosity of the intelligent student of Mechanics. The results to which I am led (chap. Iv. Sect. 2, and Chap. V. Sect. Are of some elegance. It may perhaps be thought that the solution of the problem in which we reject friction, is a mere useless exercise of ingenuity; but I think the student will find it aid him much in forming his conception of the relations of the forces by which Oblique Arches are supported. The Chapters upon Labouring Force are in a considerable degree borrowed from French writers, (navier, Poncelet, and others,) who have lately prosecuted this subject with great zeal, and in a very in structive manner. I have attempted, however, to present this matter in a more systematic shape than my predecessors. I have ventured to employ the term Labouring Force.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the mechanics of engineering, examining the principles that govern machines, structures, and the strength of materials. The author, a respected expert in the field, traces the evolution of these principles from their origins in classical mechanics to their practical applications in the engineering world. Beyond its historical context, the book explores the deeper themes of mechanics, shedding light on the intricate relationships between force, motion, and energy. The author presents a comprehensive analysis of equilibrium, friction, elasticity, and other fundamental concepts, demonstrating their significance in shaping the behavior of physical systems. The book's insights are not merely academic exercises; they hold profound implications for the design and construction of everything from simple machines to complex engineering marvels. By understanding the principles outlined in this book, engineers gain the knowledge and tools necessary to create structures that are both efficient and enduring. 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: 9781332739684_0
