Introduction to Aircraft Structural Analysis

Covers the basics of structural analysis as applied to aircraft structures. This title offers coverage of elasticity, energy methods and virtual work that sets the stage for discussions of airworthiness/airframe loads and stress analysis of aircraft components. It features worked examples, illustrations, and sample problems.
