Product Description

Review

'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, October 2001 (Prof. A.J. Morris) "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 engaged in structural analysis aerospace design offices." Aerospace. (Of the second edition.)

Product Description

"Aircraft Structures for Engineering Students" provides a completely self contained course in aircraft structures, which includes discussion on the fundamentals of elasticity and aircraft structural analysis, as well as the associated topics of airworthiness and aeroelasticity. Although much of the basic material is timeless, the author has updated the text throughout, including new material on areas that have developed since the last edition - in both educational and technological terms. As well as extensive revisions, the new edition includes a solutions manual for all end of chapter problems to accompany the text. The expansion of aviation makes aircraft structures an increasingly important topic at undergraduate level. Since its original publication in 1972, this book has become the 'bible' for aircraft structures. It includes extra worked examples and problems. It also covers the latest materials in aircraft construction, and airframe loads produced by manoeuvring.

4.0 out of 5 stars effective, 2 July 2000

By Claudio Bompadre - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Aircraft Structures for Engineering Students (Paperback)

This useful book gives a strong theoretical basis on structural analysis.In fact the maths involved is advanced but clearly explained, so that it is quite easy to follow the theory presentation. Worked examples, as well as line illustrations, are very helpful, efficaciuosly completing the expositions. In the end ,a quite comprehensive textbook.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fit For Purpose, 20 Nov 2005

By David Bowyer - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Aircraft Structures for Engineering Students (Paperback)

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.

1.0 out of 5 stars Bad examples, NOT clear, 18 Oct 2002

By Nathan (Aersp student) - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Aircraft Structures for Engineering Students (Paperback)

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.
