Preface to Aircraft Structures for engineering students


Throughout my expertise of educating plane buildings, I’ve felt the necessity for a textbook written particularly for students of aeronautical engineering.

Though there have been various glorious books written on the topic they’re now both old-fashioned or too specialist in content material to meet the necessities of an undergraduate textbook.

My purpose, subsequently, has been to fill this hole and supply a very self-contained course in plane buildings that incorporates not solely the basics of elasticity and plane structural evaluation but additionally the related subjects of airworthiness and aeroelasticity.

The guide in meant for students learning for levels, Larger Nationwide Diplomas and Larger Nationwide Certificates in aeronautical engineering and will probably be discovered of worth to these students in associated programs who specialise in buildings.

The subject material has been chosen to supply the scholar with a textbook that can take him from the start of the second 12 months of his course, when specialization often begins, as much as and together with his last examination.

I’ve organized the subjects in order that they might be studied to an acceptable stage in, say, the second 12 months after which resumed at a extra superior stage within the last 12 months;

for instance, the instability of columns and beams could also be studied as examples of structural instability at second-year stage whereas the instability of plates and stiffened panels could possibly be studied within the last 12 months.

As well as, I’ve grouped some topics below unifying headings to emphasise their interrelationship; thus, bending,

Shear and torsion of open and closed tubes are handled in a single chapter to underline the truth that they’re simply totally different loading instances of primary structural parts fairly than remoted subjects.

I notice nevertheless that the trendy development is to current strategies of research generally phrases after which think about particular functions.

However, I really feel that in instances resembling these described above it’s useful for the scholar’s understanding of the topic to see the shut relationships and similarities amongst the totally different parts of concept.

Half I of the guide, ‘Fundamentals of Elasticity’, Chapters 1–6, consists of enough elasticity concept to supply the scholar with the essential instruments of structural evaluation. The work is customary however the presentation in some situations is authentic.

In Chapter 4 I’ve endeavored to make clear the usage of vitality strategies of research and current a constant, however common, strategy to the assorted varieties of structural issues for which vitality strategies are employed.

Thus, though a wide range of strategies are mentioned, the emphasis is positioned on the strategies of complementary and potential vitality.

Total, my intention has been to provide some indication of the function and limitations of every methodology of research.

Half II, ‘Evaluation of Aircraft Structures’, Chapters 7–11, incorporates the evaluation of the thin-walled, mobile kind of construction peculiar to plane.

As well as, Chapter 7 features a dialogue of structural supplies, the fabrication and performance of structural parts and an introduction to structural idealization.

Chapter 10 discusses the constraints of the speculation offered in Chapters 8 and 9 and investigates modifications essential to account for axial constraint results.

An introduction to computational strategies of structural evaluation is offered in Chapter 11 which additionally consists of some elementary work on the comparatively fashionable finite factor methodology for continuum buildings.

Lastly, Half III, ‘Airworthiness and Aeroelasticity’, Chapters 12 and 13, are self-explanatory. Labored examples are used extensively within the textual content for instance the speculation whereas quite a few unworked issues with solutions are listed on the finish of every chapter; S.I. items are used all through.

I’m indebted to the Universities of London (L.U.) and Leeds for permission to incorporate examples from their diploma papers and in addition the Civil Engineering Division of the College of Leeds for permitting me any services I required through the preparation of the manuscript.

I’m additionally extraordinarily indebted to my spouse, Margaret, who willingly undertook the onerous activity of typing the manuscript along with attending to the calls for of a house and our three sons, Andrew, Richard and Antony.

The publication of a second version has given me the chance to look at the contents of the guide intimately and decide which components required alteration and modernization.

Aircraft buildings, notably within the discipline of supplies, are a quickly altering topic and, whereas the basics of research stay basically the identical, clearly an try should be made to maintain abreast of recent developments.

On the similar time, I’ve examined the presentation making adjustments the place I felt it obligatory and together with further materials which I consider will probably be helpful for students of the topic.

The primary 5 chapters stay basically the identical as within the first version besides for some minor adjustments in presentation.

In Chapter 6, Part 6.12 has been rewritten and prolonged to incorporate flexural– torsional buckling of thin-walled columns; Part 6.13 has additionally been rewritten to current the speculation of rigidity discipline beams in a extra logical type.

The dialogue of composite supplies in Chapter 7 has been prolonged within the mild of recent developments and the sections involved with the operate and fabrication of structural parts now embody illustrations of precise plane buildings of various sorts. The subject of structural idealization has been faraway from Chapter 8.

Chapter 8 has been retitled and the speculation offered in a special method. Matrix notation is used within the derivation of the expression for direct stress as a consequence of unsymmetrical bending and the ‘bar’ notation discarded.

The idea of the torsion of closed sections has been prolonged to incorporate a dialogue of the mechanics of warping, and the speculation for the secondary warping of open sections amended. Additionally included within the evaluation of mixed open and closed sections.

Structural idealization has been faraway from Chapter 7 and is launched right here in order that the consequences of structural idealization on the evaluation observe on logically.

An alternate methodology for the calculation of shear movement distributions is offered. Chapter 9 has been retitled and prolonged to the evaluation of precise structural parts resembling tapered spars and beams, fuselages and multicell wing sections.

The strategy of successive approximations is included for the evaluation of many-celled wings and the consequences of cut-outs in wings and fuselages are thought-about. As well as, the calculation of masses on and the evaluation of fuselage frames and wing ribs are offered.

Along with the evaluation of structural parts, composite supplies are thought-about with the dedication of the elastic constants for a composite along with their use within the fabrication of plates.

Chapter 10 stays an investigation into structural constraints, though the presentation has been modified notably within the case of the examine of shear lag. The idea for the restrained warping of open part beams now consists of common techniques of loading and introduces the idea of a second couple or second.

Solely minor adjustments have been made to Chapter 11 whereas Chapter 12 now features a detailed examine of fatigue, the fatigue energy of parts, the prediction of fatigue life and crack propagation.

Lastly, Chapter 13 now consists of a way more detailed investigation of flutter and the dedication of important flutter velocity.

I’m indebted to Professor D. J. Mead of the College of Southampton for many helpful feedback and ideas. I’m additionally grateful to Mr. Okay. Broddle of British Aerospace for supplying images and drawings of plane buildings.

The publication of a 3rd version and its accompanying options guide has allowed me to take an in depth take a look at the contents of the guide and in addition to check the accuracy of the solutions to the examples within the textual content and the issues set on the finish of every chapter.

I’ve reorganised the guide into two components as opposed, beforehand, to 3. Half I, Elasticity, incorporates, as earlier than, the primary six chapters that are basically the identical besides for the addition of two illustrative examples in Chapter 1 and one in Chapter 4.

Half II, Chapters 7 to 13, is retitled Aircraft buildings, with Chapter 12, Airworthiness, now turning into Chapter 8, Airworthiness and airframe masses, since it’s logical that masses on plane produced by various kinds of manoeuvre are thought-about earlier than the stress distributions and displacements triggered by these masses are calculated.

Chapter 7 has been up to date to incorporate a dialogue of the newest supplies utilized in plane building with an emphasis on the totally different necessities of civil and navy plane.

Chapter 8, as described above, now incorporates the calculation of airframe masses produced by various kinds of manoeuvre and has been prolonged to contemplate the inertia masses triggered, for instance, by floor manoeuvres resembling touchdown.

Chapter 9 (beforehand Chapter 8) stays unchanged aside from minor corrections whereas Chapter 10 (9) is unchanged besides for the inclusion of an instance on the calculation of stresses and displacements in a laminated bar; an additional drawback has been included on the finish of the chapter.

Chapter 11 (10), Structural constraint, is unchanged whereas in Chapter 12 (11) the dialogue of the finite factor methodology has been prolonged to incorporate the four-node quadrilateral factor along with illustrative examples on the calculation of factor stiffnesses; an additional drawback has been added on the finish of the chapter.

Chapter 13, Aeroelasticity, has not been modified from Chapter 13 within the second version aside from minor corrections. I’m indebted to, previously, David Ross and, latterly, Matthew Flynn of Arnold for their encouragement and help throughout this mission.
