I am looking for a good book that expalins clearly how to draw FBD. I need to revist my fundamental and would like to understand FBD, BM and SF diagrams for most common aerospace strucutres.

Thanks

Hi pcomp,

Any good introductory book on structural analysis, including books for "civils", will describe free-body diagrams and SF and BM diagrams since they are part and parcel of structural analysis. If you are in aero engineering buy the book by Peery "Aircraft Structures", which has been re-issued by Dover Publications. This book will answer all your questions and will be an excellent reference for the future.
