Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the elastic strength of guns, a topic of crucial importance in understanding the design and capabilities of these powerful weapons. By investigating the stress and strain relationships within gun barrels, the author provides a comprehensive analysis of the factors that determine a gun's ability to withstand internal pressure. The book delves into the concepts of elastic limit, principal stresses, and true stresses, explaining how these parameters affect the behavior of guns under various loading conditions. Through a combination of theoretical derivations and practical examples, the author demonstrates how to calculate the maximum allowable internal pressure for a given gun design, ensuring its safe and efficient operation. This book offers a valuable resource for engineers, scientists, and anyone interested in the mechanics of firearms, providing a deeper understanding of the interplay between stress, strain, and the elastic limits of materials under pressure.
