Raymond L Bisplinghoff: 4 books

Designed as both a textbook for advanced engineering students and a reference book for practicing engineers, this highly regarded work deals not only with the practical aspects of aeroelasticity, but the aerodynamic and structural tools upon which these rest. Accordingly, the book divides roughly...

Principle of Aeroelasticity constitutes an attempt to bring order to a group of problems which have coalesced into a distinct and mature subdivision of flight-vehicle engineering. The authors have formulated a unifying philosophy of the field based on the equations of forced motion of the elastic...

Initial chapters provide summary and general methods of constructing static and dynamic equations, dealing with laws of mechanics for heated elastic solids, forms of aerodynamic operators, and structural operators. Final chapters proceed from simplified cases with small, finite number of degrees of freedom, to one- and two-dimensional systems. 1962 edition.

Well-written, thoughtfully prepared, and profusely illustrated, this text is the work of a trio of prominent experts. The treatment builds on the mechanics background obtained from an engineering curriculum's first course in physics, providing the foundations for a study of such advanced topics in...
