Synopsis

Aircraft Structures for Engineering Students is the leading self contained aircraft structures course text. It covers all fundamental subjects, including elasticity, structural analysis, airworthiness and aeroelasticity. Now in its fourth edition, the author has revised and updated the text throughout and added new case study and worked example material to make the text even more accessible.

• The leading Aircraft Structures text, covering a complete course from basic structural mechanics to finite element analysis
• Enhanced pedagogy with additional case studies, worked examples and home work exercises

About the Author

T.H.G. Megson was a professor emeritus with the Department of Civil Engineering at Leeds University (UK). For Elsevier he wrote the market leading Butterworth Heinemann textbooks Aircraft Structures for Engineering Students and Introduction to Aircraft Structural Analysis (a briefer derivative of the aircraft structures book), as well as the text/ref hybrid Structural and Stress Analysis.

From the Back Cover

'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 (review of the previous edition)

Aircraft Structures for Engineering Students is a self-contained course text for a first course in aircraft structures at undergraduate or graduate level. It covers all fundamental subjects, including elasticity, structural mechanics and analysis, airworthiness and aeroelasticity.

The fourth edition has been extensively revised and updated. Key features include:

• New short case studies throughout to aid understanding and relate concepts to real world applications
• Additional coverage of post buckling of shear panels
• Additional material on composite laminate mechanics
• Thermal loading of beams
• A complete, extensive design project case study covering the application of the major techniques in the book
• Additional homework exercises and solutions
• Updated coverage of finite element analysis
