Introduces the foundations of aeroelasticity & loads for the flexible aircraft, providing an understanding of the main concepts involved & relating them to aircraft behavior & industrial practice. This book emphasises on the strong link between aeroelasticity & loads. ...

This text uses linear algebraic principles & notations to establish airframe equations of motion, so that the solutions to given problems remain in real time & frequency. It also uses modern control theory concepts to introduce the airframe as a plant matrix operator. ...

Based on a 15-year successful approach to teaching aircraft flight mechanics at the US Air Force Academy, this text explains the concepts & derivations of equations for aircraft flight mechanics. It covers: aircraft performance, static stability, aircraft dynamics stability & feedback control. ...

Suitable for graduate & post graduate courses, this book provides a gateway into the difficult two fields of algebraic geometry & commutative algebra. Algebraic geometry is in essence the study of the solution of equations. Commutative algebra is a fundamental part of algebraic geometry, & is the study of commutative rings. ...

An introductory textbook for a graduate course in pure mathematics that provides a gateway into the two difficult fields of algebraic geometry & commutative algebra. It delves into the rich interplay between algebraic geometry & commutative algebra. ...

Discover the secrets of four alternative tunings with Pat Kirtley's accessible arrangements, & make your first steps into this exciting & contemporary approach to the guitar. By straying from the standard EADGBE tuning system, a world of new harmonic possibilities opens up, some of which are explored through Kirtley's exciting solo pieces. You will learn: how to tune your guitar in four new ways, how to find the tunings without an electronic tuner, the pros & cons of alternate tunings, full on-screen instruction for each song, including split-screen detail, harmonic 'chime' techniques & right-hand fingerstyle techniques. ...
