A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Microscopic Internal Flaws in Steel Railway Locomotive ANDS traight A xles, Tyres, Rails, Steamship Propeller Shafts, and Propeller Crank Shafts, and other Shafts, Bridge Girder Plates, Ship Plates, and other Engineering Constructions of Steel. THE author has for many years past been engaged on researches with the object of ascertaining some of the causes of the deterioration of metals leading to the accidental fracture of railway axles, propeller shafts, and other metallic constructions. He has recently studied the Effects of Temperature on the Strength of Railway A xles, in an investigation extending over ten years, and has determined, on a large experimental scale, the resistance of metals to sudden concussions at varying temperatures down to zero (0 deg.) Fahr., and indicated the intfuence of climatic temperature changes on the strength of railway material; the experiments showing that, under certain conditions, temperature is a potent factor in leading to the deterioration of the resisting strength of railway axles and shafts. The author has also completed another investigation on the Effect of Strain on Railway A xles, in which some other aspects of the deterioration by fatigue in metals have been experimentally examined. If it were possible to produce a perfect metal, theoretically, there should be no deterioration by fatigue; but, alas! this at present seems almost impossible. Imperfections abound without, within. In toughest metals as metallic sin. A ll, therefore, that the metallurgist and scientific investigator can do is: 1. To endeavour to find out the ultimate causes of internal defects in metals. 2. To minimise the deleterious influence of these, if possible, in existing structures. 3.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.
