Excerpt from Practical Essay on the Strength of Cast Iron and Other Metals: Containing Practical Rules, Tables, and Examples, Founded on a Series of Experiments, With an Extensive Table of the Properties of Materials

When it is considered that it is absolutely necessary that the parts of a building or a machine should preserve a certain form or position, as well as that they should bear a certain stress, it will become Obvious that something more than the mere resistance to fracture should be calculated. In cases where the parts are short and bulky, it may do very well to employ the rules for resistance to fracture, and make the parts strong enough to sustain four times the load, but such cases rarely occur and where long pieces are loaded to one-fourth of their strength, we may expect much flexure, vibration, and instability.
