Aircraft Structures for Engineering Students, Fifth Edition, is the leading self-contained aircraft structures course text. It covers all fundamental subjects, including elasticity, structural analysis, airworthiness, and aeroelasticity. The author has revised and updated the text throughout and added new examples and exercises using Matlab. Additional worked examples make the text even more accessible by showing the application of concepts to airframe structures. The text is designed for undergraduate and postgraduate students of aerospace and aeronautical engineering. It is also suitable for professional development and training courses.
"All who have learned from this iconic book in the past 40 years will surely hold Megson’s work in high regard; essential reading for all serious students new to the subject."--The Aeronautical Journal
About the Author
T.H.G. Megson was a professor emeritus with the Department of Civil Engineering at Leeds University (UK). For Elsevier he wrote the market leading Butterworth Heinemann textbooks Aircraft Structures for Engineering Students and Introduction to Aircraft Structural Analysis (a briefer derivative of the aircraft structures book), as well as the text/ref hybrid Structural and Stress Analysis.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyses reviews to verify trustworthiness.
Libro perfetto!!!..Vengono trattati tutti gli argomenti,dalle teorie di base di scienza delle costruzioni fino alla modellazione delle strutture aeronautiche. Il libro è diviso in sezioni, Nella prima sezione ci sono gli argomenti tipici di scienza delle costruzioni con l'aggiunta dei metodi energetici, della teoria delle piastre e l'analisi delle vibrazioni. La seconda tratta delle strutture aeronautiche; materiali, parti strutturali dell'aereo e loro funzione, sollecitazioni indotte dalle manovre, fatica. L'ultima parte riguarda l'analisi strutturale dei vari componenti, comprendendo anche l'analisi delle strutture in composito ed infine un capitolo sull'aeroelasticità. Non ho riscontrato nessun problema di rilegatura o di stampa
There is more maths than enough in this book. Aircraft structures are built of metal and carbon fibre. There is another ,more practical book on the market that has a similar name and I guess that I was unlucky.
I purchased this book despite being a civil engineer because I got so much out of the authors previous book: "Mechanics of Materials for Civil Engineers". It was so well written simply and through, that I said to myself, I bet his book on Aircraft Structers would be useful for me to say the least. It is! If you can't follow his texts, give up on mechanics. Its not too difficult if you are good at elementary calculus and physics.
