5.0 out of 5 stars Fundamentals of Aircraft Structural Analysis Review, July 3, 2000
By 
Michael Benson (St Augustine, FL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fundamentals of Aircraft Structural Analysis (Hardcover)
This is an excellent book for the undergraduate. Having studied Aircraft Structures at Embry-Riddle under some of the book's contributors, I recognize it as a valuable resource of A/C Structures theory. Excellent examples and logically outlined, I highly recommend it.

2.0 out of 5 stars aircraft structural analysis, minus the aircraft, August 15, 2007
By 
redmod79 (Kinston, NC USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fundamentals of Aircraft Structural Analysis (Hardcover)
I went to ERAU where the main author teaches. He's an extremely smart person , but he's out of touch with reality and practicality. With that in mind, it's a very difficult book to read, not including the many errors in it. As far as "aircraft" structural analysis is concerned, this book covers extremely little. It's basically a generic structural analysis book with an airplane on the cover. If you want real aircraft structural analysis books, get Bruhn and Peery.

2.0 out of 5 stars Outdated & Hard to Read, April 4, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Fundamentals of Aircraft Structural Analysis (Hardcover)
The publisher (McGraw Hill) should release an errata or a new updated version due to the amount of errors that this textbook has. Author didn't do a good job explaining some of the materials, especially shear lag & virtual work; thus the book is quite difficult to understand & read. The next edition should provide more relevant examples, so students/readers would be able to do the homework problems without extensive aid of solution manual.

Conclusion: An overpriced, outdated & difficult to read textbook. Save your money for something else.
