ABOUT THE BOOK 

The proposed is an update of a successful textbook for courses in aerospace engineering at the senior undergrad and first year graduate level in structural mechanics. The book focuses on three levels of coverage driven by recent advances in industry: The increase in the use of commercial finite element codes require an improved capability in students to formulate the problem and develop a judgment of the accuracy of the numerical results, the focus on fracture mechanics as a tool in studying damage tolerance and durability has made it necessary to introduce students at the undergraduate level to this subject. Finally, a new class of materials including advanced composites are very different from the traditional metallic materials, requiring students and practitioners to understand the advantages the new materials make possible. CT Sun covers all of the above in a easy to understand manner. This new edition provides more homework problems for each chapter, more examples and more details in some of the derivations.
