A surviving 1904 "English Mechanic" car In the May 1899 issue there was an article by T Hyler-White (1871–1920) on a motor tricycle that could be powered by a 1.75 hp De Dion-Bouton . Following this and starting in January 1900 there appeared a series of 56 further articles entitled "A small car and how to build it", containing the plans for ...
Acta Mechanica is a peer-reviewed English, scientific journal publishing articles in the field of theoretical and applied mechanics, specifically in solid mechanics and fluid mechanics, published by Springer. The editor-in-chief is Hans Irschik (Johannes Kepler University Linz). [1]
Following Truesdell's criticisms of awkward style in scientific writing, [11] the journal accepted papers in English, French, German, and Latin. In addition to his original work in mechanics, Truesdell was a major historian of science and mathematics, editing or co-editing six volumes of the collected works of Leonhard Euler .
The modernisation of A Dictionary of English Usage (1926) yielded the Pocket Fowler's Modern English Usage (1999), edited by the lexicographer Robert Allen, which is based upon Burchfield's 1996 edition; the modernised edition is a forty per cent abridgement realised with reduced-length entries and the omission of about half the entries of the ...
Mécanique analytique (1788–89) is a two volume French treatise on analytical mechanics, written by Joseph-Louis Lagrange, and published 101 years after Isaac Newton's Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica.
In a 2015 article on modern dynamics, Miguel Ángel Fernández Sanjuán wrote: "When we think about textbooks used for the teaching of mechanics in the last century, we may think on the book A Treatise on the Analytical Dynamics of Particles and Rigid Bodies" as well as Principles of Mechanics by John L. Synge and Byron A. Griffith, and ...
Hamilton's optico-mechanical analogy is a conceptual parallel between trajectories in classical mechanics and wavefronts in optics, introduced by William Rowan Hamilton around 1831. [1] It may be viewed as linking Huygens' principle of optics with Maupertuis' principle of mechanics.
