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.
