The Teaching of Structural Analysis and Related Subjects: An Authoritative American Opinion of a Subject that is of Current Interest in Great Britain

Abstract

THE following notes are based on the author's experience in the aircraft industry over a period of more than fifteen years, most of which was spent in close contact with the structural phases of airplane design. During this period the airplane has changed so much that entirely new methods of analysis and engineering procedures have been evolved; even the organization of engineering activities has changed. It might therefore be of interest to mention some of the more important developments and trends, and to discuss the influence of such developments on aeronautical engineering education.
