An Introduction To The Design Of Beams, Girders And Columns In Machines And Structures: With Examples In Graphic Statics

By William Henry Atherton

""An Introduction To The Design Of Beams, Girders And Columns In Machines And Structures: With Examples In Graphic Statics"" is a book written by William Henry Atherton in 1905. The book provides a comprehensive introduction to the design of beams, girders, and columns in machines and structures. It covers the fundamental principles of structural mechanics, including the theory of bending, shear, and torsion. The book also introduces readers to the concept of graphic statics, which is a graphical method used to solve problems in structural engineering. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which covers a specific topic related to the design of beams, girders, and columns. The first chapter provides an overview of the basic principles of structural mechanics, while the second chapter focuses on the design of simple beams. Subsequent chapters cover more complex structures, including girders and columns. Throughout the book, Atherton provides numerous examples and illustrations to help readers understand the concepts he presents. These examples are drawn from real-world engineering problems, making the book especially useful for students and practicing engineers. Overall, ""An Introduction To The Design Of Beams, Girders And Columns In Machines And Structures: With Examples In Graphic Statics"" is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the design and analysis of structures. Its clear explanations and practical examples make it an accessible introduction to the field of structural engineering.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
