An Introduction To The Design Of Beams, Girders And Columns In Machines And Structures

""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 is a comprehensive guide to the design of beams, girders, and columns in machines and structures, providing readers with an in-depth understanding of the principles and techniques involved in designing these essential structural elements. The book is divided into several sections, each of which covers a different aspect of the design process. The first section provides an introduction to the basic principles of structural design, including the properties of materials and the forces that act upon them. The second section focuses on the design of beams, covering topics such as bending moment, shear force, and deflection. The third section of the book is dedicated to the design of girders, which are larger and more complex structural elements than beams. This section covers topics such as the load distribution in girders, the design of composite girders, and the use of trusses in girder design. The final section of the book is devoted to the design of columns, which are vertical structural elements that support the weight of a building or machine. This section covers topics such as the design of short and long columns, the use of column formulas, and the design of column bases. Throughout the book, Atherton provides numerous examples of the principles and techniques he discusses, using graphic statics to illustrate the design process. The book is written in a clear and concise style, making it accessible to both students and professionals in the field of structural engineering. Overall, ""An Introduction To The Design Of Beams, Girders And Columns In Machines And Structures: With Examples In Graphic Statics"" is an essential resource for anyone involved in the design of structural elements for machines and buildings.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
