Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines different theories of strength of materials under combined stresses. The author takes six established theories and compares them with experiments to determine if they hold true under complex stress situations such as biaxial loading. The research presented in this book helps engineers better understand the behavior of materials under combined stress, a situation that is commonly encountered in the real world of structural engineering. By understanding how materials behave under biaxial loading, better and safer bridges and buildings can be constructed. 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.…

Royal octavo (9 1/4" x 6 3/4") bound in half green cloth with marbled stiff boards. Volumex XXXII (32) and XXXIII (33). (Bibliotheca van der Linde-Niemeijeriana:5957) First editions.  The Wiener Schachzeitung, an Austrian chess magazine, published in German which was one of the great magazines of chess ran from 1898 through 1916 and then from 1923 through 1938. Originally founded in 1855 by Ernst Falkbeer, but was only published for nine months. In 1887 it enjoyed a rebirth, but even this publication lasted only nine months. In 1898 Hugo Fahndrich, Alexander Halprin and Georg Marco re-established the name again. As time went on Georg Marco became the sole editor and even the publisher. Marco edited the magazine until 1914 and during that period it became the best chess magazines in the world (Golombek:342). When it was renamed in 1923 it was called the Neu Wiener Schach-Zeitung and was edited by I R Wahle and A Lewitt; however, within a year it had recaptured its old title and in 1926 another great editor, Albert Becker, took over. With the German invasion of Austria, it ceased publication. An attempt to revive it after the end of World War II failed. The witty pen of Hans Kmoch gave distinction to the magazine and every now and then he would edit a faschings (carnival) number that was genuinely funny. Condition: 2 volumes bound together.
