Aircraft Structures for Engineering Students

Select Condition 
Book Overview
Written specifically for students of aeronautical engineering covers not only the fundamentals of elasticity, but also the associated topics of airworthiness and aeroelasticity. A self-contained course in aircraft structures, coverage corresponds to and complements the general course work from the beginning of the second year of study through the advanced topics of the final year. The first section covers includes sufficient elasticity theory to provide the basic tools of structural analysis, indicating the role and limitations of each analytical method. The second section covers the analysis of the thin-walled, cellular type of structure peculiar to aircraft and features discussion of structural materials, the fabrication and function of structural components, and an introduction to structural idealization. This section also investigates modifications necessary to account for axial constraint effects and presents computational methods of structural analysis. Final chapters cover airworthiness and aeroelasticity. Numerous worked and unworked problems with answers are included.

Fit For Purpose
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
This is what the title says - for engineering students. It is not really useful for the practicing aircraft structural analyst. The mathematics presented is considerably more involved than is presented in most other airframe analysis texts, with empahsis on how stress formulae are derived. A bit over the top if all you want is to know how to analyse a practical problem, but ideal for the student who needs to know the foundations of analysis. A little bit annoying how equations are quoted by number, forcing the reader to continuously return to previous chapters.

This useful book gives a strong theoretical basis on structural analysis.In fact the maths involved is advanced but clearly explained, so that it is quite easy to follow the theory presentation. Worked examples, as well as line illustrations, are very helpful, efficaciuosly completing the expositions. In the end ,a quite comprehensive textbook.
