Excerpt from Experiments on the Transverse Strength and Other Properties of Malleable Iron: With Reference to Its Uses for Railway Bars, and a Report Founded on the Same, Addressed to the Directors of the London and Birmingham Railway Company
A prize of one hundred guineas for the most improved construction of Rail-way Bars, Chairs, and Pedestals, and for the best manner of affix ing and connecting the Rail, Chair and Block to each other, so as to avoid the defects which are felt more or less on all Rail-ways hitherto constructed stating, that their object was to obtain, with reference to the great momentum of the masses to be moved by locomotive Steam.

Experiments on the Transverse Strength and Other Properties of Malleable Iron
Print-on-DemandAnbieter: Forgotten Books, London, Vereinigtes Königreich
Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book contains the results of the author's extensive research into the structural integrity of wrought iron as used in the new and developing field of rail transport and engineering. Following a public appeal, the author was tasked with establishing the optimum design for rail construction, alongside other experts, after concerns were raised by civil engineers and construction firms about the resilience of the rails, especially with the increase in locomotive traffic at the time. The book contains a wealth of data and experimental findings from the testing of experimental rails with different cross-sections and weights, each tested to destruction or failure. These experiments, which are comprehensively described, demonstrate that the most effective design, combining weight, stiffness, and strength, was the standard parallel rail design, rather than the âfish-belliedâ alternative, which had been commonly used in the past. These findings had a profound impact on railway design and safety, and the results continue to inform contemporary civil engineering practice. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9781332621217_0
