DESCRIPTION:
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. A.J. (Of the second edition.) . I can recommend it to the aeronautical community without reservation'The Aeronautical Journal, October 2001 (Prof. 'This is an excellent book and should find a place on the shelf of any student or practising engineer involved in aircraft structu
Fit For Purpose 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 anno. 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.. Nathan said Bad examples, NOT clear. 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.
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. Latest materials in aircraft construction. 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. Extra worked examples and problems. Airframe loads produced by manoeuvring.. Since its original publication in 1972, this book has become the 'bible' for aircraft structures. '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
