Σελίδα 19 - If three forces acting at a point are in equilibrium they can be represented in magnitude and direction by the three sides of a triangle taken in order.
Σελίδα 362 - The contraction of area at fracture, previously overlooked, forms an essential element in estimating the quality of specimens. 5. The respective merits of various specimens can be correctly ascertained by comparing the breaking strain jointly with the contraction of area.
Σελίδα 23 - If any number of forces acting at a point can be represented in magnitude and direction by the sides of a POLYGON taken in order, they are in equilibrium.
Σελίδα 365 - ... and the breaking strain, when gradually applied, increased, but at the same time it is rendered more liable to snap. 44. Iron, like steel, is softened, and the breaking strain reduced, by being heated and allowed to cool slowly. 45. Iron subject to the cold-rolling process has its breaking strain greatly increased by being made extremely hard, and not by being "consolidated,
Σελίδα 364 - Steel plates hardened in oil, and joined together with rivets, are fully equal in strength to an unjointed soft plate, or the loss of strength by riveting is more than counterbalanced by the increase in. strength by hardening in oil. 40. Steel rivets, fully larger in diameter than those used in riveting iron plates of the same thickness, being found to be greatly too small for riveting steel plates, the probability is suggested that the proper proportion for iron rivets is not, as generally assumed,...
Σελίδα 362 - The prevailing opinion of a rough bar being stronger than a turned one is erroneous. 9. Rolled bars are slightly hardened by being forged down. 10. The breaking strain and contraction of area of iron plates are greater in the direction in which they are rolled than in a transverse direction.
Σελίδα 483 - Several kinds of wire rope are manufactured. The most pliable variety contains nineteen wires in the strand, and is generally used for hoisting and running rope. The ropes with twelve wires and seven wires in the strand are stiffer, and are better adapted for standing rope, guys, and rigging.
Σελίδα 363 - In the fibrous fractures the threads are drawn out, and are viewed externally ; whilst in the crystalline fractures the threads are snapped across in clusters, and are viewed internally or sectionally. In the latter cases, the fracture of the specimen is always at right angles to the length ; in the former, it is more or less irregular.
Σελίδα 224 - ... solid thus generated is equal to the product of the revolving area and the path described by the center of gravity of the plane area during the revolution.
Σελίδα 365 - Iron bolts, case-hardened, bore a less breaking strain than when wholly iron, owing to the superior tenacity of the small proportion of steel being more than counterbalanced by the greater ductility of the remaining portion of iron.
