Interface of Materials and Structures on Airframes, Part 3. Design Problems in Aircraft Structures, Including Proceedings of Monterey Symposium

摘要

The proceedings of the Monterey Symposium on Design Problems in Aircraft Structures provide a basic survey of design problems from the engineer's viewpoint. Further analysis of the present situation draws attention to some essential aspects which are not yet generally recognized. This leads to the conclusion that recent design problems cannot be solved on a technological level alone. An organizational effort is needed to disseminate available information. Beyond this, the complexity of interactions must be understood more thoroughly and this requires an educational effort on a broad basis. A practical and systematic approach toward the solution of these problems is developed. (Author)
