The authors and their colleagues developed this text over many
years, teaching undergraduate and graduate courses in structural
analysis courses at the Daniel Guggenheim School of Aerospace
Engineering of the Georgia Institute of Technology.
The emphasis is on clarity and unity in the presentation of
basic structural analysis concepts and methods. The equations of
linear elasticity and basic constitutive behaviour of isotropic and
composite materials are reviewed. The text focuses on the analysis
of practical structural components including bars, beams and
plates. Particular attention is devoted to the analysis of
thin-walled beams under bending shearing and torsion. Advanced
topics such as warping, non-uniform torsion, shear deformations,
thermal effect and plastic deformations are addressed. A unified
treatment of work and energy principles is provided that naturally
leads to an examination of approximate analysis methods including
an introduction to matrix and finite element methods.
This teaching tool based on practical situations and thorough
methodology should prove valuable to both lecturers and students of
structural analysis in engineering worldwide.
This is a textbook for teaching structural analysis of aerospace
structures. It can be used for 3rd and 4th year students in
aerospace engineering, as well as for 1st and 2nd year graduate
students in aerospace and mechanical engineering.
