Excerpt from Graphics or the Art of Calculation by Drawing Lines, Vol. 1: Applied Especially to Mechanical Engineering With an Atlas of Diagrams
On reference to Chapter IL, it will be seen that the whole subject is divided into eight heads. Of these, only two - namely, Arithmetic and Statics - have been dealt with in previous books on Graphics. The introduction of Algebra and Trigonometry treated graphically is a novelty. It is hoped these chapters will be found interesting and useful, but it has not been deemed desirable to devote very much space to them. A good deal also of Chapter III., on graph-arithmetic, is believed to be now for the first time published. The Kinematics of Rigid Bar Mechanisms was first dealt with on the present system in a paper by the author, written in 1884, and read before the Royal Society of Edinburgh in January 1885.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is an introduction to graphical methods of solving problems in multiple areas of classical mechanics. Graphical methods provide several advantages over other methods, including the ability to use continuous quantities, incorporate scales, estimate accuracy, represent vector quantities, and aid in business calculations. Therefore, they are well suited to complex engineering calculations. The author first explains instruments and their use in making precise graphical calculations, then provides instruction on using graphical methods for arithmetic, algebra, trigonometry, dynamics, and kinematics. Tabulation of results is also covered. Practical applications for these methods are demonstrated through engineering examples and illustrations, allowing readers to gain the confidence to implement these methods in their own work. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781331947882_0
