Présentation de l'éditeur

The following computer-generated description may contain errors and does not represent the quality of the book.

The object of this text-book is to furnish a concise presentation of the physical properties of the common materials used in structures and machines, together with brief descriptions of their manufacture and fabrication. The book is intended primarily for use in technical schools in connection with courses in the Mechanics of Materials, or in connection with courses in the Materials Testing Laboratory. It is hoped, however, that the book may prove to be of use to draftsmen, inspectors, machinists, and others who, dealing with the materials of engineering in their daily work, wish to become familiar in an elementary way with the properties of those materials. The text is distinctly elementary in character, and for the reader who may wish to pursue his studies further there is given at the end of each chapter a list of selected references. The books and periodicals named in these lists will be found in nearly all technical school libraries, and in many city libraries. For the convenience of teachers who may use this book as a text, a list of questions on the various chapters is given at the end of the last chapter. This work is, of necessity, a compilation of data from various sources, and the author has endeavored to give credit where it is due. He acknowledges his indebtedness to the references given in the lists and to the various individuals who have assisted him. Herbert F.Moore. Urban A, Illinois, AugiLst 5, 1917.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
