Resistance of Materials: For Beginners in Engineering is a book written by Stephen Elmer Slocum and first published in 1914. The book is a comprehensive guide to the study of the strength and behavior of materials under different types of loads and stresses. It is written for beginners in engineering who are looking to gain a solid understanding of the fundamental concepts of mechanics of materials.The book covers a wide range of topics related to resistance of materials including stress and strain, elasticity, shear and bending, torsion, deflection, and column buckling. The author explains each concept in a clear and concise manner, using simple language and illustrations to help readers understand the complex theories and formulas.The book is divided into several chapters, each covering a specific aspect of resistance of materials. The first chapter introduces the basic concepts of stress and strain, and the different types of loads that can be applied to a material. The subsequent chapters build upon these concepts, discussing topics such as Hooke's law, shear stress and strain, bending moment and shear force, and deflection of beams.The final chapter of the book focuses on column buckling, which is the failure of a slender column under compressive stress. The author provides a detailed explanation of the theory behind column buckling, and discusses various methods for designing columns to prevent this type of failure.Overall, Resistance of Materials: For Beginners in Engineering is an essential resource for anyone studying or working in the field of mechanical engineering. It provides a solid foundation in the principles of mechanics of materials, and is written in a way that is easy to understand for beginners. The book has stood the test of time and is still widely used as a reference by engineers and students today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
