Based on the author's best-selling text, Aircraft Structures for Engineering Students, this brief book covers the basics of structural analysis as applied to aircraft structures. Coverage of elasticity, energy methods and virtual work set the stage for discussions of airworthiness/airframe loads and stress analysis of aircraft components. Numerous worked examples, illustrations, and sample problems show how to apply the concepts to realistic situations. Self-contained, this value-priced book is an excellent resource for anyone learning the subject.
- Based on the author's best-selling text Aircraft Structures for Engineering Students, this introduction covers core concepts in about 160 fewer pages than the original by removing some optional topics like structural vibrations, structural and loading discontinuities, and aeroelasticity
- Expanded coverage of composite materials and structures
- New practical and design-based examples and problems throughout the text aid understanding and relate concepts to real world applications
- Available online teaching and learning tools include downloadable Matlab code, solutions manual, and image bank of figures from the book

T.H.G. Megson was a professor emeritus with the Department of Civil Engineering at Leeds University (UK). For Elsevier he wrote the market leading Butterworth Heinemann textbooks Aircraft Structures for Engineering Students and Introduction to Aircraft Structural Analysis (a briefer derivative of the aircraft structures book), as well as the text/ref hybrid Structural and Stress Analysis.
