Excerpt from Experimental Engineering, Vol. 2: A Treatise on the Methods and Machines Used in the Mechanical Testing of Materials of Construction
The systematic testing of the materials used in all classes of engineering work is becoming so general that little apology is needed for the existence of this book; and it is hoped that it will be found helpful, both to young engineers, who have opportunities of using the various appliances described, and also to older men who have, in the ordinary course of their practice, to make use of. Some of the materials referred to.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fundamental principles and practices of materials testing, a field that has grown increasingly important in the world of engineering. The author guides the reader through the mechanics of bodies under stress, explaining concepts such as elasticity, plasticity, and the various types of stresses that materials can experience. The book then explores the development of testing machines and the intricate methods used to measure and analyze the results. It provides a detailed examination of the different types of tests, including tension, compression, shearing, bending, and torsion. The author also discusses the specific properties of various materials, such as iron, steel, copper, and timber, under these stresses. Throughout the book, the author emphasizes the need for careful observation, meticulous record-keeping, and a thorough understanding of the underlying principles to ensure accurate and reliable testing results. Ultimately, this book offers a comprehensive guide to the world of materials testing, providing both practical knowledge and a deep understanding of the science behind it.
