About the Book 

Fundamentals of Aircraft Structural Analysis involves applying principles of structural mechanics to understand and predict how an aircraft's structure responds to loads, ensuring safety and efficiency. Key areas include material properties like strength-to-mass ratio, elasticity, and thermal expansion, along with classical theory on stress, strain, and beam bending. Modern analysis heavily relies on computational methods such as Finite Element Analysis (FEA), which divides structures into smaller parts to simulate complex behaviors and optimize designs using software like ANSYS and Nastran.
