Excellent graduate-level text explores virtually every important subject in the fields of subsonic, transonic, supersonic and hypersonic aerodynamics and dynamics, and demonstrates how they interface with and complement one another in atmospheric flight vehicle design. Broad selection of helpful problems at the end of each chapter. Bibliography. "A fine book..."-Canadian Aeronautics and Space Journal. 1974 edition.

Two revered pioneers of aerospace engineering follow up their earlier volume on aeroelasticity with this mini-handbook on the principles of elasticity. While geared toward professional engineers, this volume will be helpful for students as well. The topics include methods of constructing static and dynamic equations, heated elastic solids, forms of aerodynamic operators, structural operators, and more.
