Book Description

ISBN-10: 0470349379 | ISBN-13: 978-0470349373 | Publication Date: July 1, 1999 | Edition: 3
Aircraft Structures for Engineering Students provides a comprehensive self-contained course in aircraft structures. Starting with the structural mechanics of aircraft this book goes on to cover elasticity, aeroelasticity and airworthiness. The new edition has been thoroughly revised and updated and includes:
  • Extra worked examples and problems
  • Latest materials in aircraft construction
  • Airframe loads produced by manoeuvring
  • Increased Finite Element analysis
A solutions manual for lecturers to accompany the book is available free from the web at www.arnoldpublishers.com/support/megson.htm ‘As an introduction to the problems encountered in the structural design of modern aircraft, Megson’s book can be recommended to both students and those already engaged in structural analysis in aerospace design offices.’ Aerospace (of the second edition) Also of interest Civil Jet Aircraft Design L. Jenkinson, P. Simpkin and D. Rhodes Aerodynamics for Engineering Students, 4th edition E.L. Houghton and P.W. Carpenter

Review

As an introduction to the problems encountered in the structural design of modern aircraft, Megson's book can be recommended to both students and those engaged in structural analysis in aerospace design offices.' -- Aerospace

From the Publisher

The expansion of aviation makes aircraft structures an increasingly important topic at undergraduate level. Since its original publication in 1972, this book has become the 'bible' for aircraft structures. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

4.0 out of 5 stars effective, July 2, 2000
This review is from: Aircraft Structures for Engineering Students (Paperback)
This useful book gives a strong theoretical basis on structural analysis.In fact the maths involved is advanced but clearly explained, so that it is quite easy to follow the theory presentation. Worked examples, as well as line illustrations, are very helpful, efficaciuosly completing the expositions. In the end ,a quite comprehensive textbook.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fit For Purpose, November 20, 2005
This review is from: Aircraft Structures for Engineering Students, Third Edition (Paperback)
This is what the title says - for engineering students. It is not really useful for the practicing aircraft structural analyst. The mathematics presented is considerably more involved than is presented in most other airframe analysis texts, with empahsis on how stress formulae are derived. A bit over the top if all you want is to know how to analyse a practical problem, but ideal for the student who needs to know the foundations of analysis. A little bit annoying how equations are quoted by number, forcing the reader to continuously return to previous chapters.

1.0 out of 5 stars Bad examples, NOT clear, October 17, 2002
This review is from: Aircraft Structures for Engineering Students, Third Edition (Paperback)
The examples are not clear. They only show numbers with no units and do not even explain where the numbers came from. I am a student so I had to buy this book. I would not recomend buying this book unless you absolutly have to. I have seen alot of engineering books and this one is truely one of the worst.
