Introduction to Aircraft Structural Analysis

T.H.G. Megson was a professor emeritus with the Department of Civil Engineering at Leeds University (UK). For Elsevier he wrote the market leading Butterworth Heinemann textbooks Aircraft Structures for Engineering Students and Introduction to Aircraft Structural Analysis (a briefer derivative of the aircraft structures book), as well as the text/ref hybrid Structural and Stress Analysis.
