ABSTRACT THE object of Mr. Alexander's work is to serve as a companion volume to the late Prof. Rankine's “Applied Mechanics and Civil Engineering.” This _first part_ treats of
internal stress and strain, the divisions being elasticity, resilience; pure strain, simple and compound; the ellipse of stress; and the application of earthwork. All these points appear to
us to be well illustrated by the numerous worked-out exercises, with carefully drawn figures, and by the exercises left for the student to try his skill upon. This small book, drawn up, we
presume, with reference to Prof. Alexander's Japanese students at the Imperial Engineering College at Tokei, is likely to be of service, the more so as it appears, to the extent we have
tried it, to be correctly printed. _Elementary Applied Mechanics_. By Thomas Alexander (London: Macmillan, 1880.) ARTICLE PDF RIGHTS AND PERMISSIONS Reprints and permissions ABOUT THIS
