"Aircraft Structures for Engineering Students is a self-contained text for students of aerospace and mechanical engineering. It covers all the fundamental subjects taken in an aircraft structural design and analysis course, including elasticity, structural mechanics and analysis, airworthiness and aeroelasticity. It is ideal for use as a textbook for a first course in aircraft structures or structural design and analysis, as well as a reference for graduate level courses."--BOOK JACKET.
