Opis

This textbook covers the fundamental concepts of structural analysis applied to vehicular structures such as aircraft, automobiles, ships and spacecraft.

Recenzje

Review of the hardback: 'Although the approach is classical, what makes this book different is the extensive and thorough treatment with hundreds of examples, questions and answers. No other textbook offers such a treatment … The extensive treatment and very large number of examples is welcomed. Cambridge University Press is to be congratulated on producing a quality product for [a] reasonable price …' G. A. O. Davies, Imperial College London
