Aeroelasticity, 1955, 1955

Document Type: Textbook (Technical).

Purpose: Training and Education.

Authority: Author Expertise.

Series: Addison-Wesley Series in Mechanics

Scope (from Preface): "The objective of the authors in writing Aeroelasticity has been to provide both a textbook for advanced engineering students and a reference book for practicing engineers. In selecting material for the book it was the authors' conviction that not only the practical aspects of aeroelasticity should be treated, but also the aerodynamic and structural tools upon which these rest."
