Megson T.H.G. Aircraft Structures for Engineering Students

5th Edition. — Elsevier, 2013. 859 p. — ISBN: 978-0-08-096905-3.Key FeaturesNew worked examples throughout the text aid understanding and relate concepts to real world applications
MatLAB examples and exercises added throughout to support use of computational tools in analysis and designAn extensive aircraft design project case study shows the application of the major techniques in the bookAbout the BookAircraft 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 5e, the author has revised and updated the text throughout and added new examples and exercises using MatLAB. Additional worked examples make the text even more accessible by showing application of concepts to airframe structures. It includes a Solutions Manual available to all adopting teachers.New worked examples throughout the text aid understanding and relate concepts to real world applicationsMatLAB examples and exercises added throughout to support use of computational tools in analysis and designAn extensive aircraft design project case study shows the application of the major techniques in the bookUndergraduate and postgraduate students of aerospace and aeronautical engineering. Also suitable for professional development and training coursesQuotes
"This is an excellent book and should find a place on the shelf of any student or practicing engineer involved in aircraft structural analysis. I can recommend it to the aeronautical community without reservation" -The Aeronautical Journal, October 2001
