Elementary Experimental Mechanics is a textbook written by Alexander Wilmer Duff and published in 1905. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the fundamental principles and techniques of experimental mechanics, which is the study of the behavior of materials under different physical conditions. The book is divided into several chapters, each covering a different topic related to experimental mechanics. These topics include the properties of matter, forces, motion, energy, and work. The book also covers the measurement of physical quantities and the use of instruments such as the balance, the pendulum, and the lever.Throughout the book, Duff provides numerous examples and experiments to illustrate the concepts and principles discussed. These experiments are designed to be simple and easy to conduct, making the book suitable for students and beginners in the field of experimental mechanics.Overall, Elementary Experimental Mechanics is a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding the basic principles and techniques of experimental mechanics. It provides a clear and concise introduction to the subject, making it an ideal textbook for students and researchers alike.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
