Publisher's Synopsis
Fluidity and Plasticity by Eugene C. Bingham is a comprehensive book that explores the fundamental concepts of fluid mechanics and plasticity. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part focusing on fluid mechanics and the second part covering plasticity. In the first part, the author provides an in-depth analysis of the behavior of fluids, including their properties, equations of motion, and various flow phenomena. The book covers topics such as fluid statics, fluid dynamics, boundary layer theory, and turbulent flow. The second part of the book delves into the field of plasticity, which deals with the behavior of materials under load, including their deformation and failure. The author covers topics such as stress and strain, yield criteria, plastic deformation, and fracture mechanics. Throughout the book, the author provides numerous examples and applications of the concepts discussed, making it an excellent resource for students and professionals in the fields of mechanical engineering, civil engineering, and materials science. The book is written in a clear and concise manner, with numerous illustrations and diagrams to aid in understanding the concepts presented. Overall, Fluidity and Plasticity is a must-read for anyone interested in gaining a deeper understanding of fluid mechanics and plasticity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
