The Action of Materials Under Stress, also known as Structural Mechanics, is a comprehensive book written by Charles Ezra Greene in 1897. This book covers the fundamental concepts of the strength and resistance of materials, as well as the elements of structural design. It provides a detailed analysis of the behavior of materials under stress, including their elasticity, plasticity, and fracture. The author also discusses the different types of loads and stresses that structures may encounter, such as tension, compression, bending, and torsion. The book is designed to be a practical guide for engineers and architects, as it includes numerous examples and problems that illustrate the concepts discussed. Overall, The Action of Materials Under Stress is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the field of structural mechanics and the design of safe and efficient structures.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
