Paper, 'The influence of stress and strain on the physical properties of matter. Part I. Elasticity—continued. The velocity of sound in metals and a comparison of their moduli of longitudinal and torsional elasticities as determined by statical and kinetical methods' by Herbert Tomlinson
Reference number: PP/11/4
Date: 1887
Description
Tomlinson writes: 'We owe to Wertheim a series of carefully executed experiments on the longitudinal elasticity of metals both by statical extension and by longitudinal and transverse vibrations. Prom these researches it would appear that the values of the moduli of longitudinal elasticity as determined for several metals by the first of these three methods are, as might be expected, less than those obtained by the other two. The differences, however, are very much greater than can be accounted for by the heating and cooling effects of contraction and elongation, and the author has already pointed out what he believes to have been in a great measure the cause of these discrepancies.'
Annotations in pencil and ink. Includes two pages of diagrams of experimental apparatus.
