Book Description
Excerpt from Examples in Applied Mechanics and Elementary Theory of Structures The following papers in Applied Mechanics and Elementary Theory of Structures are designed for engineering students who have some familiarity with the general principles underlying these subjects. Confidence and facility in applying these principles can only be acquired by assiduous practice in the solution of problems, and for this purpose the student must have ready access to a large stock of miscellaneous examples. The examples contained in text-books are subject to the defect that the principle to be employed in any particular case is of necessity usually indicated by the chapter with which the problem is associated. If his knowledge is to be of any practical value, the student must sooner or later learn to be independent of such extraneous aid, and with the object of helping him towards this state of self reliance, these twenty 3 papers of examples have been compiled. A considerable number of the questions have been taken from examination papers set at the Cambridge Engineering Laboratory, and with the exception of a few more advanced problems in the last five papers the standard agrees with that of the "A" papers in the Engineering Tripos Examination.
