Author Description

Excerpt from Dynamics, Construction of Machinery, Equilibrium of Structures, and the Strength of Materials With the last treatise, on the strength of materials, some trouble has been taken to collect and condense the great amount of scattered information supplied by numerous experimenters. Our knowledge of this subject has greatly increased within the last fifteen years, and deserves a collection and careful collation: this is wanting; but it is hoped that the reader who desires not to be ignorant of the principal things known, and the principles deduced from modern experiments, will find a practical statement of them in the present treatise.
