Aircraft Structures for Engineering Students

'This is an excellent book and should find a place on the shelf of any student or practising engineer involved in aircraft structural analysis. I can recommend it to the aeronautical community without reservation' The Aeronautical Journal (review of the previous edition) Aircraft Structures for Engineering Students is a self-contained course text for a first course in aircraft structures at undergraduate or graduate level. It covers all fundamental subjects, including elasticity, structural mechanics and analysis, airworthiness and aeroelasticity. The fourth edition has been extensively revised and updated. Key features include: New short case studies throughout to aid understanding and relate concepts to real world applications Aadditional coverage of post buckling of shear panels Additional material on composite laminate mechanics Thermal loading of beams A complete, extensive design project case study covering the application of the major techniques in the book Additional homework exercises and solutions Updated coverage of finite element analysisMegson, T. H. G. is the author of 'Aircraft Structures for Engineering Students ', published 2007 under ISBN 9780750667395 and ISBN 0750667397.
