Publisher's Synopsis
Mechanical Testing V1: Testing Of Materials Of Construction (1922) is a comprehensive guidebook written by Reginald George Cyril Batson. The book is focused on the mechanical testing of materials used in construction, such as metals, alloys, and composites. The author provides an in-depth analysis of the various testing methods used to evaluate the mechanical properties of these materials, including tensile testing, compression testing, and impact testing.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which covers a specific aspect of mechanical testing. The first chapter provides an overview of the different types of materials used in construction and their properties. The subsequent chapters delve into the different testing methods used to evaluate these materials, including the equipment and procedures required for each test.The author also provides detailed information on how to interpret the results of mechanical tests, including how to calculate stress and strain, and how to determine material properties such as yield strength, ultimate strength, and modulus of elasticity. The book also includes numerous illustrations and diagrams to help readers understand the concepts presented.Overall, Mechanical Testing V1: Testing Of Materials Of Construction (1922) is a valuable resource for engineers, researchers, and students who are interested in the mechanical properties of materials used in construction. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the testing methods and procedures used to evaluate these materials, and is an essential reference for anyone working in the field.A Treatise In Two Volumes.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
