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. Based on the author's best-selling text Aircraft Structures for Engineering Students, this introduction covers core concepts in about 160 fewer pages than the original by removing some optional topics like structural vibrations, structural and loading discontinuities, and aeroelasticityExpanded coverage of composite materials and structuresNew practical and design-based examples and problems throughout the text aid understanding and relate concepts to real world applicationsAvailable online teaching and learning tools include downloadable Matlab code, solutions manual, and image bank of figures from the book INDICE: 1.
