Synopsis

This book delves into the strength of chain links, providing a comprehensive analysis of the stresses induced in these crucial components. The author develops a theoretical framework based on the principles of elasticity and strength of materials, examining the distribution of pressure between adjacent links and the resulting impact on the overall structural integrity of the chain. The book explores the historical context of chain analysis, tracing the evolution of theories from the early work of Bach and Grashof to the author's own groundbreaking contributions. Through detailed mathematical derivations and experimental verification, the author presents a rigorous examination of the complex interplay of forces that govern the behavior of chain links under load. The book not only provides practical formulas for the safe loading of chains but also sheds light on the fundamental mechanics underlying their design. This in-depth exploration of chain link analysis offers valuable insights for engineers, researchers, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the mechanics of these essential components.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Further arguments to show the importance of a rational analysis seem hardly necessary. In undertaking the work described in this paper, three things were held in view. (1) The development of the theory of the stresses induced in chain links with given conditions as regards loading. (2) Experimental tests of the validity of the theory employed and also of the validity of the assumptions made as to the distribution of pressure between adjacent links. (3) The deduction from theoretical considerations alone of rational formulas for the loading of chains. The beginning of this work dates back to 1900, when the analytical investigations were largely worked out. In 1906, Mr. R. M. Evans of the class of 1906 undertook the experimental verification of the theory, and presented in his graduating thesis certain of the results contained herein. The following year the experimental work was continued by Messrs. M. L. Millspaugh and R. L. Baker. The data obtained have been worked over carefully, all calculations have been repeatedly checked, and it is believed that the results derived are worthy of confidence, whatever may be the conclusions that are drawn from them. METHOD OF ANALYSIS The analytical investigation was first suggested by Bach sanalysis of the stresses in a hollow cylindrical roller.1 It seemed evident that the general method there used could be employed to determine the stresses in links with circular or elliptical center lines. The fundamental equations may be found in Bach swork, but for the sake of completeness they are given in condensed form in this paper. (S ee Appendix A.) Grashof2 gives an analysis using the same fundamental equations, but owing to untenable assumptions, the analysis gives results wide of the truth. The only other analysis is that made by Winkler in a memoir published in Der Civilingenieur.3 A 1B ach, Elasticitat und Festigkeit, p.
