Description

Book Introduction

It explains the fundamental forces that bind together the primal and fundamental tasks of this world.
From buildings and the human body to airplanes and eggshells...
His intelligence, his adept handling of the tasks at hand, and his encyclopedic commentary all combined to create a style.
The author interprets engineering through technical data and exchanges with underlying theories based on a wide variety of materials.
In sections such as “How I Designed a Bug” and “The Benefits of Being a Beam,” he showed humorous insights into the creations of humans and nature.
Architects and engineers will appreciate this clear and compelling explanation of concepts such as stress, shear, torsion, fracture, fracture, and compression.
If you're building a house or a boat or a launcher, here's a tool that will help you understand the engineering aspects of the joints, floors, ceilings, bodies, masts, flying buttresses, and more.
Without being overly complex or overly simplistic, the structure provides detailed answers to the most honest questions.
It opens up the wonders of technology to anyone interested in what underpins our everyday lives.
