Coburn on Mastering Structures

Mastering Structures:

This webpage provides insights and helps for mastering structural mechanics. It specifically is focused on mastering aerospace structural mechanics for undergraduate aerospace students at CPP, but industry structures professionals & mechanical and civil engineering students may find these useful as well.

These concepts are foundational both for students and for anyone specializing in structural analysis & strength.

Books:

Structures:

  1. "Aerospace Strength Handbook - Volume I: Practical Structural Mechanics for Aerospace Engineers". Todd Coburn. Kindle Digital Publishing. 11 January 2021. Errata.
  2. "Aerospace Strength Handbook - Volume II: Practical Structural Analysis of Aerospace Vehicles". Todd Coburn. Kindle Digital Publishing. 10 March 2021. Errata.

YouTube Lectures:

Another way to master aerospace structures is to be led through the key thoughts and principles by someone who knows the way. I have posted videos that will lead the viewer through the critical content in a step-by-step fashion. You can access this content by navigating to my YouTube channel using the following link.
