Synopsis

Explore the fascinating realm of elasticity, a subject that delves into how materials respond when forces are applied to them. This book serves as an invaluable guide to this field, offering an accessible introduction to the theory of elasticity before delving into practical applications. The author, an experienced expert, illuminates the fundamental equations that govern the behaviour of elastic materials under stress and strain. With a comprehensive examination of topics such as Young's modulus, rigidity, and Poisson's ratio, this book provides a pathway to understanding the complex interactions within materials. The insights presented here are not merely theoretical; they find practical applications in diverse engineering disciplines. From the stretching of wires to the torsion of rods, the understanding of elasticity is crucial for the design and construction of bridges, buildings, and countless other structures. By exploring the intricate relationship between stress and strain, this book enhances our appreciation of the remarkable properties of materials. It unveils how forces can shape and deform objects, offering valuable knowledge for engineers, physicists, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the mechanics of the world around them.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Leopold is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. This means that we have checked every single page in every title, making it highly unlikely that any material imperfections – such as poor picture quality, blurred or missing text - remain. When our staff observed such imperfections in the original work, these have either been repaired, or the title has been excluded from the Leopold Classic Library catalogue. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, within the book we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic work, and that for you it becomes an enriching experience.

Présentation de l'éditeur

G. F. C. Searle (1864–1954) was a British physicist who made notable contributions to the development of laboratory physics and theories of electromagnetic mass. First published in 1933, as the second edition of a 1908 original, this book was based on the manuscript notes prepared by Searle for the use of students attending his practical physics classes at the Cavendish Laboratory, Cambridge. The first chapter contains an account of the elements of the mathematical theory of elastics; the second chapter provides mathematical solutions for some simple elastic problems which regularly appear in experiments; the third chapter contains descriptions of a number of experiments together with such necessary mathematical discussions as are not given in the first two chapters. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in experimental physics and the pedagogy of physics.
