Structural Loads Analysis for Commercial Transport Aircraft

Showing how loads analysis theory and practice have changed from 1953 to the present, this important text covers all aspects of structural loads analysis and provides some continuity between what was done on earlier airplane designs and what the current applications of the present regulations require. This masterful text also considers how the personal computer should be used to enhance the understanding of the physics of dynamics and automatic controls and to better equip the student of today to undertake the more advanced problems of tomorrow.

The book is recommended for university students studying structural loads analysis and requirements as well as structural engineers who deal with aircraft. It is a highly recommended textbook for all aeronautics and astronautics engineering departments. The last five chapters give guidance in the interpretation of the regulations required for certification.
