The Manual of Applied Mechanics, originally published in 1868, is a comprehensive guide to the principles and practices of mechanics as applied to engineering and construction. Written by William John Macquorn Rankine, a prominent Scottish engineer and physicist, the book covers a wide range of topics including statics, dynamics, kinematics, and the properties of materials.The manual is divided into three parts. The first part deals with the principles of mechanics, including the laws of motion, force, energy, and momentum. The second part covers the application of these principles to engineering problems, such as the design of structures, machines, and engines. The third part is devoted to the properties of materials, including strength, elasticity, and plasticity.Throughout the manual, Rankine provides numerous examples and illustrations to help readers understand the concepts and applications of mechanics. He also includes a wealth of practical information, such as tables of physical constants, formulas for calculating stresses and strains, and descriptions of various materials and their properties.Despite its age, the Manual of Applied Mechanics remains a valuable resource for engineers, scientists, and students of mechanics and materials science. Its clear and concise explanations, combined with its practical approach to problem-solving, make it a timeless classic in the field of engineering.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
