DESCRIPTION:
Simpkin and D. The new edition has been thoroughly revised and updated and includes: Extra worked examples and problemsLatest materials in aircraft constructionAirframe loads produced by manoeuvringIncreased Finite Element analysis A solutions manual for lecturers to accompany the book is available free from the web at arnoldpublishers/support/megsonm ‘As an introduction to the problems encountered in the structural design of modern aircraft, Megson’s book can be recommended to both students and those already engaged in structural analysis in aerospace design offices.’ Aerospace (of the second edition) Also of interest Civil Jet Aircraft Design L. Carpenter. Starting with the structural mechanics of aircraft this book goes on to cover elasticity, aeroelasticity and airworthiness. Rhodes Aerodynamics for Engineering Students, 4th edition E.L. Houghton and P.W. Aircraft Structures for Engineering Students provides a comprehensive self-contained course in aircraft structures. Jenkinson, P
"Fit For Purpose" according to David Bowyer. 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.. excellent book for aerospace engineering Bruno The 4th edition of this book complete and improve the already good level of the 3rd edition. It is probably one the best book dedicated to the study of the aircraft structures for aerospace engineering student.. "Bad examples, NOT clear" according to Nathan. The examples are not clear. They only show numbers with no units and do not even explain where the numbers came from. I am a student so I had to buy this book. I would not recomend buying this book unless you absolutly have to. I have seen alot of engineering books and this one is truely one of the worst.
