Need comments on Aero-tech books?
(OP)
Hi All, I have Bruhn, Roark, Peery, Hoerner etc but still need guidance and references for some hand calc structural issues from time-to-time. From variuos forums on Eng-tips I see suggestions for Niu, Flabel and Megson for structures to add to my library. I'd like your astute comments for my dilemma. Basically hand-calc methods since I do not have NASTRAN, Ansys etc available. BTW I usually get good service and prices thru Alibris bookseller. Thanks JQC

Thank you for the wonderful reference link!!
RE: Need comments on Aero-tech books?
But it would be a LOT easier to start learning with a book like Flabel's, and only then move to Bruhn's or Niu's more in-depth treatments of some topics. But my college prof didn't agree...
