The Scientific Papers of Sir Geoffrey Ingram Taylor [Paperback]

In this first volume, Sir Geoffrey Ingram Taylor's papers examine the mechanics of solids.Sir Geoffrey Ingram Taylor (1886-1975) was a physicist, mathematician and expert on fluid dynamics and wave theory. Across these four volumes, published between the years 1958 and 1971, Batchelor has collected together almost 200 of Sir Geoffrey Ingram Taylors papers.

The papers in this first volume examine the mechanics of solids.Sir Geoffrey Ingram Taylor (1886-1975) was a physicist, mathematician and expert on fluid dynamics and wave theory. He is widely considered to be one of the greatest physical scientists of the twentieth century. Across these four volumes, published between the years 1958 and 1971, Batchelor has collected together almost 200 of Sir Geoffrey Ingram Taylor's papers. The papers of the first three volumes are grouped approximately by subject, with Volume IV collating a number of miscellaneous papers on the mechanics of fluids. Together, these volumes allow a thorough exploration of the breadth and diversity of Sir Taylor's interests within the field of fluid dynamics. At the end of Volume IV, Batchelor provides the reader with both a chronological list of the papers presented across all four volumes, and a list of Sir Geoffrey Taylor's other published articles, completing this truly invaluable research and reference work.1. The use of soap films in solving torsion problems with A. A. Griffith; 2. The problem of flexure and its solution by the soapfilm method with A. A. Griffith; 3. The application of soap films to the determination of the torsion and flexture of hollow shafts with A. A. Griffith; 4. A relation between Bertrand'l“$
