Extract

In view of the recent notes in this Journal by Professors Jacobs and Duncan, it may be of interest to give some additional references to investigations of the flexural centre of beams, which otherwise might be overlooked, and to add some remarks which seem to have escaped the attention of previous writers.

Although the earliest investigation seems to have been published by Griffith and Taylor (Ref. 4 of Duncan's paper), Eggenschwyler gave an independent discussion of the problem for narrow beams. Considerable progress was made by Weber in two papers, published in 1924 and 1926. Similar results were obtained by Schwalbe, who was apparently unaware of Weber's previous investigations.
