Aircraft Structures for Engineering Students, Seventh Edition, is the leading self-contained aircraft structures course text suitable for one or more semesters. It covers all fundamental subjects, including elasticity, structural analysis, airworthiness and aeroelasticity. Now in its seventh edition, the author has continued to expand the book¿s coverage of analysis and design of composite materials for use in aircraft and has added more real-world and design-based examples, along with new end-of-chapter problems of varying complexity.

Presents a comprehensive overview of structural and stress analysis Includes numerous worked examples and end-of-chapter problems Extensively illustrated to help visualize concepts Contains a greater focus on digital trends in structural engineering, including newer computer analysis methods and how to check output of such methods to avoid ?black-box' engineering Contains additional worked examples on plastic analysis of frames, bending moment distribution and displacement evaluations on collapse mechanics Introducescontent on statics to ensure that students know the basic concepts and can understand the equilibrium principles that govern all structures as well as the principles of the mechanisms involved in computer-based calculations.
