The Mechanism Of Solid Viscosity (1892)

The Mechanism of Solid Viscosity is a book written by Carl Barus in 1892. This book is a detailed study of the properties of solid materials and their behavior under different conditions. The author delves into the science of viscosity, which is the measure of a material's resistance to flow. The book explores the various factors that affect the viscosity of solids, including temperature, pressure, and composition.Barus presents a comprehensive analysis of the mechanical properties of solids, including elasticity, plasticity, and creep. He discusses the role of molecular forces in determining the behavior of solids and the relationship between viscosity and the structure of materials.The book also includes a detailed discussion of the experimental techniques used to measure viscosity and other properties of solids. Barus describes his own experiments in detail, providing readers with a clear understanding of the methods used in the study of solid viscosity.Overall, The Mechanism of Solid Viscosity is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the science of materials and their properties. It provides a thorough examination of the factors that influence the behavior of solids, making it an essential reference for scientists and engineers working in the field of materials science.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
