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

Third Edition. — Butterworth-Heinemann, 1999, Reprinted 2001 (twice), 2002, 2003. XII, 590 p. — ISBN: 0-340-70588-4.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. 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. As well as extensive revisions, the new edition includes a solutions manual for all end of chapter problems to accompany the text.Elasticity
