Contents:
Chapter 1: Material physics & properties -- Chapter 2: Environment & durability -- Chapter 3: Material types -- Chapter 4: Manufacturing -- Chapter 5: Aircraft & spacecraft structures -- Chapter 6: Aircraft & spacecraft loads -- Chapter 7: Translating loads to stresses -- Chapter 8: Considering strength & stiffness -- Chapter 9: Design & certification -- Chapter 10: Fatigue & durability -- Chapter 11: Structural joints
Subject: This book provides an introduction to the discipline of aerospace structures and materials. It is the first book to date that includes all relevant aspects of this discipline within a single monologue. These aspects range from materials, manufacturing and processing techniques, to structures, design principles and structural performance, including aspects like durability and safety. With the purpose of introducing students into the basics of the entire discipline, the book presents the subjects broadly and loosely connected, adopting either a formal description or an informal walk around type of presentation. A key lessons conveyed within this book is the interplay between the exact science and engineering topics, like solid material physics and structural analysis, and the soft topics that are not easily captured by equations and formulas. Safety, manufacturability, availability and costing are some of these topics that are presented in this book to explain decisions and design solutions within this discipline.
