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

Try the Astronautics Structures Manual:
http://trs.nis.nasa.gov/archive/00000254/

the price is right!  

JQCF1 (Structural) 31 Jan 07 15:07
Arto, Thanks for providing this great link to the Marshall site and especially this doc.  I've downloaded some stuff that will be very useful and I'll hold off spending $$ for anymore text books for now.  Thanks again-JQC

I would still invest in Niu's airframe book. And Roark, of course.

Arto,

Thank you for the wonderful reference link!!

Flabel's book also would work as a hand-calculation reference.  Even the FBD's are hand drawn!  By a good classic draughtsman, too.  I like the layout, but I don't need to use it much 'cause I've used Bruhn for too long.

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...

We had some trouble with our ftp site, made some changes.
The correct address for the Ramberg-Osgood paper is

sorry for the inconvenience

RustyJohnson (Aerospace) 4 Apr 07 12:57

prost,

My apologies.

You got the gist of it ...

Best of luck.
