Elementary Mechanics Of Solids And Fluids (1893) - Arthur Laidlaw Selby - Bog

Elementary Mechanics Of Solids And Fluids is a comprehensive textbook written by Arthur Laidlaw Selby in 1893. The book provides a thorough introduction to the fundamental principles of mechanics of solids and fluids. The text is divided into two main parts, with the first part covering the mechanics of solids and the second part covering the mechanics of fluids.In the first part, Selby introduces the basic concepts of stress, strain, and deformation of solids. He then goes on to discuss the behavior of materials under different types of loading, such as tension, compression, and bending. The book also covers the principles of elasticity, plasticity, and fracture mechanics.The second part of the book covers the mechanics of fluids, including the properties of fluids, fluid statics, and fluid dynamics. Selby explains the principles of fluid flow, including laminar and turbulent flow, and the equations governing fluid motion. He also covers topics such as Bernoulli's equation, the continuity equation, and the Navier-Stokes equations.Throughout the book, Selby provides numerous examples and problems to help readers understand the concepts presented. The book is written in a clear and concise style, making it accessible to students and professionals alike.Overall, Elementary Mechanics Of Solids And Fluids is a valuable resource for anyone studying or working in the fields of mechanics, engineering, or physics. With its comprehensive coverage of both solids and fluids, the book provides a solid foundation for further study and research in these areas.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
