Synopsis
A practical overview of how mechanical integrators and planimeters were developed to measure areas, curves, and work.
This book surveys the devices and principles behind area measuring tools and their use in solving engineering problems, from tracing integral curves to computing physical quantities like work and moments.
The text frames a historical and technical trajectory, comparing different instruments and showing how they convert motion and geometry into numeric results. It covers key concepts, notable contributors, and the evolution of devices from simple planimeters to more complex integrators used in statics and dynamics.
- How planimeters read areas and how the readings relate to the geometry of a curve
- Different forms of integrators, including non-slipping and continuous types
- Influential figures and machines shaping graphic statics, dynamics, and engineering measurement
- Practical examples of applying integrators to problems like the strength of girders and work measurements
Ideal for readers of engineering history, graphic statics, and the development of measurement instruments.
