The author explains the essence of aircraft stress analysis
simply and eloquently in this new book release. This book provides not only
an introduction to the fundamentals of aircraft stress analysis for inexperienced
design engineers (in the form of an instruction manual for their study and
design use) but can also be used as a handy reference by more experienced
engineers in this field. This comprehensive work is succinctly crafted to
offer each engineer a systematic, hands-on approach to engineering designs
based on industry-proven methodologies. Brilliantly portrayed, emphasis is
placed on the solution of actual aircraft structural designs so realistic
that working engineers and aircraft enthusiasts—designers and
experimenters—can easily relate to their own aircraft designs. To avoid
the time-consuming approaches to the analysis of many designs, wherever possible,
shortcuts, approximate methods, and rule-of-thumb methods of analysis will
be employed. This will provide convenient and reliable methods of analysis
with sufficient accuracy to use in preliminary and investigative stages of
design work.
This book is intended to develop the engineer’s
ability to make intelligent decisions on a well-informed
basis, to analyze and study the structural behavior of new and
existing designs, and to achieve a level of engineering competency
“unmatched” by existing educational programs or reference
sources. This book has a wealth of information about “practical
theory” and enough “example problem solutions” included to
make the material practical-to-use and easy-to-understand by working design
engineers and aircraft enthusiasts.
To efficiently design an aircraft structure, the principles
of stress analysis (as contained in this book) are used to assist and support
these individuals in arriving at practical design solutions for new and
innovative designs. The author has incorporated into this publication:
instructor lecture notes, hundreds of illustrations and drawings, actual
example problems, and interactive question-and-answer discussions encountered
in the live classroom sessions that were selectively taught at major U.S.
aerospace companies. From this, a quality reference book was created that
can be used to completely master the fundamentals of stress analysis and,
as an added-bonus, enable designers to achieve the equivalency of “many
years” of actual engineering experience. As many designers and
stress professionals have stated about this book, “there is nothing
else quite like it.”
This is a book for those individuals who want to go beyond
mere academic training to those who desperately want to know and understand
“real” aircraft structure. The following main topics are covered:
(1) Principles of Statics; (2) Design and Analysis of Axial and Bending Members;
(3) Connection Analysis; (4) Shearing Stresses; (5) Shear and Tension Clip
Supports; (6) Crippling of Compression Members; (7) Design and Analysis of
Column Members; (8) Shear-Resistant Beams; and (9) Cutouts and Hole
Reinforcements.
This is a comprehensive work that will immediately assist
and support these individuals so that they can perform effectively in many
different and unique design situations. By pursuing a diligent and thorough
study of this material to its conclusion, this knowledge can be attained
without enduring the rigors of formal academic training. This book may
be purchased directly from the publisher for $98.00 plus shipping and handling
(in U.S. dollars).
