MECHANICAL VIBRATIONS by J. P. DEN HARTOG.Originally published in 1917. PREFACE: This book grew from a course of lectures given to students in the Design School of the Westinghouse Company in Pittsburgh, Pa., in the period from 1926 to 1932, when the subject had not yet been introduced into the curriculum of our technical schools. From 1932 until the beginning of the war, it became a regular course at the Harvard Engineering School, and the book was...

#1 On October 15, 1586, Queen Mary of Scots was on trial for treason. She had been accused of plotting to assassinate Queen Elizabeth in order to take the English crown for herself. Sir Francis Walsingham, Elizabeth's Principal Secretary, planned to prove that Mary was at the heart of the plot, and was therefore equally culpable and deserving of death.
#2 The plot to...

Description
One of the central concerns of engineering is the failure of materials. Addressing this concern, fracture mechanics - an interdisciplinary subject spanning mechanical, civil, and materials engineering, applied mathematics, and physics - predicts the conditions under which such failure will occur due to crack growth. This valuable self-contained text by an expert in the field supplements standard fracture mechanics texts by focusing on analytical methods...

Description
Rational design theories for highway and airport pavements are presented together with an invention of a much superior paving material, comprising recycled Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (EVA) mixed and compacted with graded aggregates. EVA is the binder (cheaper than asphalt), and the new paving material, called EVAPAVE, is four times stronger and tougher than asphalt concrete, and twice as strong and tough as high quality cement concrete. Fracture mechanics...
