What's Your Favorite Out of Print Reference Book 3

[SAITAETGrad]

What book do you think the world needs back in print?

(Other than Bruhn)

 

[GregLocock]

Ker Wilson on torsionals

RD Blevins - I think half the FEA engineers I know rely on photocopies of some original.

this Blevins dynamics/vibration text?

https://www.amazon.com/Formulas-Dynamics-Acoustics-Vibration-Wiley/dp/1119038111

It seems that Blevins book is available but this one is not.

I see four titles from Blevins.

Formulas for Dynamics, Acoustics and Vibration

Flow-induced Vibration

Formulas for Natural Frequency and Mode Shape

Applied Fluid Dynamics Handbook

Is there more?

My secret prized possession...

PERMANENT FASTENERS FOR LIGHT WEIGHT STRUCTURES, ISBN 3870171774, K Hoffer

The photo illustrations of installed fasteners, cut-in-half axially, are examples of pictures 'worth thousands of words'. New engineers have 'Ah-Ha!!' moments when they see these photos and read the descriptions.

Formulas for Natural Frequency and Mode Shape is fundamental for FEA people checking their models.

Formulas for Natural Frequency and Mode Shape is fundamental for FEA people checking their models.

Does the 2016 Formulas for Dynamics, Acoustics and Vibration replace it? From the preface of that book -

Chapters 3 through 5 provide natural frequencies and mode shapes for elastic beams, plates, shells, and spring-mass systems...Many results from my previous formulas book are included and updated with knowledge gleaned over the intervening 30 years.

It also says there are over 60 tables in the book.

Wow...just picked up a copy of K.D. Wood "Aircraft Design". A lot of data!

 

[Sparweb]

There are a lot of textbooks that were printed for the student to learn from. There are other textbooks that are printed for the author to cram information into. It's the former that I find useful.

Not sure if these are actually out of print:

Airplane Aerodynamics, by Dommasch, Sherby and Connolly
I would use that book if I didn't have a copy of Anderson readily available.

Principles of Helicopter Engineering, by Jacob Shapiro
This book is much easier to use than any of Wayne Johnson's books. I haven't had a chance to compare it with similar books from Leishman or others.

Also,
I am also pleased to notice that this one is back in the world: Design of Light Aircraft Paperback by Richard D. Hiscocks

I already have a copy... maybe this is an opportunity to give it as a gift to an aspiring student.
