Description Fundamentals of Aircraft Structural Analysis focuses on the basics behind the elements of aircraft structural analysis using an applications-oriented approach. Through the use of extensive practical problems, Howard Curtis introduces your undergraduate students to the theory required for understanding linear, static structural behavior, and the classic methods of analysis. By focusing on the basics, students will comprehend each topic and be encouraged to study more advanced topics.
