DESCRIPTION:
OK at best Jack Watson My course in aircraft structures uses this as its text, and honestly I spend more time using other books in the library than this one. It covers all the appropriate subjects and the methods are correct, but the descriptions are not detailed enough to fully understand the process from the text alone. Also, several of the examples con. Hard to read I am currently taking an aircraft structural analysis course with this as a required text. At about halfway through the semester, I can say I've found more use of my mechanics of materials text than this book. It is very heavy with theory, and sometimes the theory is presented as a concept without any mathematical clarification. Our. Five Stars Provides a high quality teaching on aircraft structural analysis theory.

Based on the author's best-selling text Aircraft Structures for Engineering Students, this brief book covers the basics of structural analysis as applied to aircraft structures. Coverage of elasticity, energy methods and virtual work set the stage for discussions of airworthiness/airframe loads and stress analysis of aircraft components. Numerous worked examples, illustrations, and sample problems show how to apply the concepts to realistic situations. Self-contained, this value-priced book is an excellent resource for anyone learning the subject. Covers the core concepts in about 200 fewer pages by removing some optional topics like structural vibrations and aero elasticity Systematic step by step procedures in the worked examplesSelf-contained, with complete derivations for key equationsBased on the author's best-selling text Aircraft Structures for Engineering Students, this Intro version covers the core concepts in about 200 fewer pages by removing some optional topics like structural vibrations and aeroelasticity Systematic step by step procedures in the worked examplesSelf-contained, with complete derivations for key equations
