Advanced Aerospace Materials

Aerospace Technology is a very challenging topic. The book covers the transition from aluminum to composite materials for aerospace structures and includes advanced analyses used in industries. It is for engineers and students of aerospace, materials and mechanical engineering. New in the 3rd Edition is material on buckling and vibration of arches, trusses and frames, application of Rayleigh approach, Southwell's plot, new advanced excitation devices and nonlinear behavior of plates under lateral pressure including thin long isotropic rectangular plates.
