Structural Dynamics Engineering Books


1.		Mechanics of Aircraft Structures from Wiley Price: $57.00 Customer Review: This book is not very usable if this is the first time you are seeing this material. Everything is presented as if only for review and you have already learned all the material before. I would pass on this book if possible	Customer Rating: 1.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


2.		Dynamics of Structures (3rd Edition) from Prentice Hall Price: $65.97 Customer Review: The organization and presentation is excellent. It is organized into two main parts: single degree of freedom systems(SDF) and multiple degree of freedom systems(MDF). An in-depth study of SDF systems comes first naturally since MDF systems can be viewed as solving multiple SDF systems. In terms of... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


3.		Airframe Stress Analysis & Sizing from Technical Book Co Price: $69.56 Customer Review: I found Mr. Niu's Airframe Stress Analysis & Sizing to be a decent reference text for practicing stress analysts. It is not as comprehensive or as detailed as the industry-standard Bruhn, but it is more organized, with modernized charts, tables, and figures. I did not encounter the rumoured... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


4.		Beyond the Black Box: The Forensics of Airplane Crashes from The Johns Hopkins University Press Price: $16.62 Customer Review: This is an interesting book if you want to know more about what causes airplane crashes. The book does NOT include pilot error or weather caused crashes - only mechanically caused accidents. and focuses on a few in great depth. There is a lot of detail about how engine blades are manufactured... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


5.		Aircraft Structures for Engineering Students, Fourth Edition (Elsevier Aerospace Engineering) from Butterworth-Heinemann Price: $51.73 Customer Review: As an Aeronautical Engineering student, using this book has been great.

7.		Structural Dynamics: Theory and Computation from Springer Price: $76.83 Customer Review: I used to read the Structural Dynamics (3rd ed.) from my university library. It was a great book with all explanation very clear and good examples. Then a had the opportunity to buy the 5th edition. The text is a little different, but it is not a problem. The big problem is the figures that... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

9.		Explosive Effects and Applications from Springer Price: $104.33 Customer Review: This is a great book for engineers who want to gain some basic knowledge about explosives. The book has detailed chemical descriptions and design equations. It is a very valuable book, especially for me, since I will be going into the Air Force. I would reccomend this book to anyone, but engineers... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

11.		Understanding Aircraft Structures from Wiley-Blackwell Price: $47.03 Customer Review: I'm a postgraduate majoring in aeronautics. I think this book is generally suitable for those who have interest in aircraft structure but do not necessarily have educational backgrounds in related fields. In fact, although the emphasis of my study has always been one of aerodynamics rather than... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

13.		Fundamentals of Aircraft Structural Analysis from McGraw-Hill Companies Price: $203.75 Customer Review: The publisher (McGraw Hill) should release an errata or a new updated version due to the amount of errors that this textbook has. Author didn't do a good job explaining some of the materials, especially shear lag & virtual work; thus the book is quite difficult to understand & read. The next... more info	Customer Rating: 2.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

It presents the same content I have read in other books in a very nice fashion. Possibly the... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


18.		Analysis of Aircraft Structures (Cambridge Aerospace Series) from Cambridge University Press Price: $48.47 Customer Review: This book is very wordy and seems to go into so much unnecessary detail that it can lose the reader.	Customer Rating: 3.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


19.		Introduction to Aerospace Structural Analysis from Wiley Price: $84.80 Customer Review: I had classmates who splurged and bought the most recent edition of this book and they wished that they had not because I did not miss out on anything.

24.		Structural Loads Analysis Theory and Practice for Commercial Aircraft (Aiaa Education Series) from AIAA (American Institute of Aeronautics & Ast Price: $99.62 Customer Review: Aircraft loads is a peculiar subject, and there is not much material (at least that I'm aware) that is specifically addressed to loads engineers. Therefore, such a textbook as that from Lomax is very valuable, already for its own existence! :) Sometimes it can provide also a sort of safety... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information
