Book excerpt: Excerpt from On the Strength, Elasticity, Ductility and Resilience of Materials of Machine Construction 1. Introductory. - Some months ago, while engaged with the advanced classes of the Stevens Institute of Technology, in experi-mental investigations of the resistance of materials, it was found that coefficients were given, by various authorities, which neither accorded fully with each other or with those then obtained. The desirability of determining how far these differences were due to errors of observation, and how far to variation in the quality of the materials examined, induced the writer to design several machines for the purpose of conducting with them a more extended and exact series of experiments. The machine for measuring torsional resistance was furnished with an automatic registry, recording a diagram which] is' a reliable and exact representation of all circumstances attending the 'distortion and fracture of the specimen. 2so system of personal^ observation could probably be devised which could yield results cither as reliable or as precise as such a system of autographic registry, and, as no method previously in use had given simultaneously, and'at every instant during the test, the intensity of the distorting force and the magnitude of the coincident distortion, it was anticipated that the new method of investigation might be fruitful of new and, possibly, important results. This expectation, as will be seen, has been more than realized. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
