Overview

This textbook addresses topics associated with aircraft structures, such as engineering mechanics, strength of materials, theory of elasticity, and aerodynamics. With an emphasis on light weight, aircraft structures have incorporated special features such as box beams in wings, ring frames in fuselage, and longitudinal stiffeners. These are designed for bending, shear and torsion loads, and they are also susceptible to buckling, aeroelastic deformation, and fatigue. Providing additional study material, this book offers comprehensive coverage for students of aerospace engineering.
