Experimental Mechanics

Experimental Mechanics is a comprehensive book that offers a detailed course of lectures delivered at the Royal College of Science for Ireland by Robert Stawell Ball. The book covers various aspects of mechanics, including statics, dynamics, and kinematics. It is designed to provide students with a solid foundation in the principles and methods of experimental mechanics.The book starts with an introduction to the fundamental principles of mechanics, such as force, mass, and acceleration. It then moves on to cover topics such as motion, work, energy, and power. The book also includes detailed discussions on the principles of statics, including the equilibrium of forces and moments.The book covers the principles of dynamics, including the laws of motion, projectile motion, and circular motion. It also discusses the principles of kinematics, including the motion of particles and rigid bodies. The book also covers the principles of fluid mechanics, including the properties of fluids, fluid flow, and fluid dynamics.One of the notable features of the book is the extensive use of examples and illustrations to explain the concepts. The book also includes numerous exercises and problems to help students test their understanding of the material.Overall, Experimental Mechanics is an excellent resource for students and professionals in the field of mechanics. It provides a comprehensive overview of the principles and methods of experimental mechanics and is an essential reference for anyone interested in this field.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
