The Elements Of The Mechanics Of Materials And Of Power Transmission (1911) : Kessinger Publishing : 9781163943922 : 1163943924 : 10 Sep 2010 : ""The Elements of the Mechanics of Materials and of Power Transmission"" is a comprehensive textbook written by William R. King and first published in 1911. The book covers the principles of mechanics of materials and power transmission, providing a detailed analysis of the behavior of materials under different types of loads and the various methods of transmitting power. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part focusing on mechanics of materials. This section covers topics such as stress and strain, elastic deformation, plastic deformation, and the behavior of materials under different types of loads. The second part of the book is dedicated to power transmission, covering topics such as gears, belts, chains, and couplings. The book includes numerous diagrams, illustrations, and equations to help readers understand the concepts
