"Written by one of the leading aerospace educators of our time, each sentence is packed with information. An outstanding book." — Private Pilot"Illuminated throughout by new twists in explaining familiar concepts, helpful examples and intriguing ‘by-the-ways.’ A fine book." — Canadian Aeronautics and Space JournalThis classic by a Stanford University educator and a pioneer of aerospace engineering introduces the complex process of designing...
Designed as both a textbook for advanced engineering students and a reference book for practicing engineers, this highly regarded work deals not only with the practical aspects of aeroelasticity, but the aerodynamic and structural tools upon which these rest. Accordingly, the book divides roughly into two halves: the first deals with the tools and the second with applications of the tools to aeroelastic phenomena.Topics include deformation of airplane structures under static and dynamic loads,...
