Hi there. I am investigating designing a wing with a shell structure, without spars, for a telescopic wing. It will most likely require thin stiffeners to handle a post buckling condition.
I have been using the NACA/NASA Handbook of Structural Stability Part I-VIII and Bruhn (A&D of FVS Chapter...
I think your both right in the sense that new engineering degrees don't often focus on practical real world issues such as manufacture; machining tolerances of parts.
From my own experience this relates to universities trying to reduce costs and limit liability from OH&S (Occupation, Health and...
Having taken an FEM course with a highly experienced lecturer with heavy industry experience (rarity), I can say with confidence that he would not trust an FEM solution without a hand calculation check. This could be heavily simplified check, but it should at least determine if the FEM result...
Thank you for pointing out that book.
I have borrowed it from my university library. Small, detailed. Almost a tiny engineering reference.
Pity it doesn't appear to have stress concentration factors, but no book is perfect.
Best regards,

I'm not sure if it is that book. I've heard that it is German only.
I've found a review of Roark's Stress and Strain that also points to this fact:
"The only book I know better than this one is written in German and few people are able to read in German, so!"
But I will look into the book...
Hello people,
I have a question. I had a German finite element method lecturer that said there is a German only book with tons of loadings and solutions.
I've been learning German and would like to take a look at the book, but can't find the title of this book. The lecturer is seasonal...
