Becoming an Aircraft Stress Engineer.
The ultimate aircraft stress engineer guide containing the best kept secrets, tips and words of wisdom from the Aerospace Structure Analysis World.
With many complete calculation examples covering many types of aircraft structures, Becoming an Aircraft Stress Engineer is a great companion to the aerospace engineer who wants to acquire real stress analysis hands-on experience rapidly.
Filled with some advice and personal comments, the book guides the reader similar in a way to a mentor-ship by demonstrating how to perform analyses on aircraft structures starting from drawings and resulting in aircraft certification stress reports.
