Mechanics of Aero-structures

Mechanics of Aero-structures

Mechanics of Aero-structures is a concise textbook for students of aircraft structures, which covers aircraft loads and maneuvers, as well as torsion and bending of single cell, multi-cell, and open thin-walled structures. Static structural stability, energy methods, and aero-elastic instability are discussed. Numerous examples and exercises are included to enhance students' facility with structural analysis. This well-illustrated textbook is meant for third- and fourth-year undergraduate students in aerospace and aeronautical engineering programs. The material included can be covered in a one semester course. Key Features Include: â€¢ Torsion and bending of single cell, multi-cell, and open sections are described in detail. â€¢ Aerodynamic loads, maneuvers, and elementary aero-elastic stability are included. â€¢ The book begins with a description of the aerodynamics loads to motivate the students. â€¢ Includes an in-depth description of energy methods, an essential topic.
