With many complete calculation examples covering some primary and secondary aircraft structures, Becoming an Aircraft Stress Engineer is a great companion to the Aerospace engineer who wants to acquire real stress analysis hands-on experience rapidly. Filled with some technical as well as life-at-work advice and comments, the book guides the reader in a similar way to a mentor-ship by demonstrating how to performs analyses on aircraft structures starting from drawings (3D models) and resulting in aircraft certification stress reports.

The examples use hand calculations, spreadsheets, as well as some Finite Element Analysis. Primary as well as Secondary structures are covered. The author guides the reader by sharing his thoughts as to what analysis approach should be used for substantiating a structure. He flags the typical mistakes that are made and how to avoid them.

Although filled with somewhat real life structural analyses, this book is not intended to be a design manual on its own but a companion to other existing very good analysis tools references. Its purpose is to show the reader a map of the analysis approach to be followed depending on the type of structure. Whether the structure is metallic or composite, this book shows the approach that the author used over the years that will help the reader become a proficient Aircraft Stress Engineer.

Reviews for Becoming an Aircraft Stress Engineer: A guide that bridges university with the aerospace industry

"I am writing to share my thoughts on the book ""Becoming an Aircraft Stress Engineer"". In short, this is an amazing book that provides a comprehensive and detailed introduction to the field of aircraft stress engineering. As an aspiring aircraft stress engineer myself, I found this book to be an invaluable resource. You have done an excellent job of explaining the fundamental concepts and principles of stress engineering, as well as providing practical examples and case studies that illustrate how these concepts are applied in real-world scenarios. One of the things I appreciate most about this book is its clear and concise writing style... Another strength of this book is its organization. The material is presented in a logical and coherent manner, starting with the basics of stress analysis and gradually building up to more advanced topics... Overall, I would highly recommend ""Become an Aircraft Stress Engineer"" to anyone who is interested in pursuing a career in this field... Sahil S. Teaching and learning structural analysis is not easy. I found the book very instructive. It offers a detailed, yet easy to follow, coverage of various stress analysis topics. An excellent guide for students and professionals. The worked examples and references provided throughout assist greatly the learning process. Highly recommended. Kyriakos K. Structural analysis is not an easy topic, and you need to be really into it to understand all kind of analysis required. I have found the book pretty instructive for sure. It is really helpful, it explains how to analyze some details and what to be aware of, something that you will learn through time and nobody is going to teach you. I am really enjoying it. Highly recommended. Jose G."
