Peery answer key

Peery answer key

Peery answer key

(OP)
Do any of you know if there was an answer key published for the first edition Peery Aircraft Structures (1950)?  Is this book still used in coursework at US universities?  Is the answer key available?

 I'm not a student and am going through Peery's book for a personal education to supplement other structures books (Bruhn, Roark, Flabel, etc).  I'm hoping that the 1950 Peery is old enough that it isn't used in coursework and the publication of the answer key won't be considered “cheating” per the guidelines of this forum.

Probably.  They never teach this stuff anymore anyway, right?  Hand calcs, what are those?  Are those what you have to do to drop in your FEM nodes?  :)

<tongue firmly in cheek, no FEM wars please>

RE: Peery answer key

Sure, they do.  They just use a book that is still in print

Ok I'll agree there...but back to the original question... anybody happen to have an answer key or know where I can find one?  

Thanks folks.

RE: Peery answer key

There is a copy of aircraft structures by Peery for sale on eBay item number 250016433729  with about 6 hours to go as of this writing 1-30 am pacific.

RE: Peery answer key

Thanks for the tip but I have the book, just not the answer key.  In fact, I would be happy with answers for just the odd (or even) problems like many textbooks have in their appendix.

RE: Peery answer key

almost off topic:

can anyone personally recommend some good reading/reference material for a fledgeling structural designer? maybe something like the 'machinery's handbook' of aircraft structure design? or just aircraft design in general?

i saw a few books that had titles resembling 'aircraft structures for engineering students' etc..they looked like they might be winners, but being textbooks, they were kind of expensive...well, now that i type this, i guess they were no more expensive than, for instance, the machinery's handbook, lol


thanks,

nadam

RE: Peery answer key

Well, based on this thread, you've got one recommendation winky smile.  

The bestwebbuys link shows Amazon claiming a couple of copies selling for about $50.

Peery (as mentioned) and Flabel's Practical Stress Analysis.

RE: Peery answer key

Flabel's looks to be an excellent book; lots of good information with excellent examples. We first started using this book about 6 years ago at work, and it was amazing to me the opposition of our clients to our using it; their unfamiliarity with the book almost demanded that they put up barriers against our using this Flabel book. Personally I found the Flabel book useful, easy to understand, etc.

RE: Peery answer key

(OP)
Yes, definitely.  And the course Flabel offers is excellent as well.

If you get a Peery then the general consensus (on the web plus from our company structures DER) is to make sure to get a 1st edition (1950).

RE: Peery answer key

Also,  Make sure there is in an index in it.  I know some of the later editions were missing the index.
