Mechanics Of Materials (1914)

Mechanics of Materials is a comprehensive textbook written by Arthur Morley Merriman and Henry S. Mansfield, first published in 1914. The book covers the fundamental principles of mechanics of materials, including stress and strain, axial loading, torsion, bending, and deflection of beams. The authors provide clear explanations of the concepts and use numerous examples and problems to illustrate the applications of the theory.The book is divided into 16 chapters, each covering a different topic in mechanics of materials. The first few chapters introduce the basic concepts of stress and strain, and the behavior of materials under axial loading. The later chapters cover more advanced topics such as torsion, bending, and deflection of beams. The authors also discuss the design of structural elements such as columns, beams, and shafts.The book includes numerous illustrations and diagrams to help readers understand the concepts, and each chapter ends with a set of review questions and problems for practice. The authors also provide a comprehensive index at the end of the book for easy reference.Overall, Mechanics of Materials is a classic textbook on the subject, widely used by students and professionals in engineering and related fields. Its clear explanations and practical examples make it an invaluable resource for anyone seeking to understand the principles of mechanics of materials.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
