Extract

In the present era of supersonic and hypersonic flight, structural analysts are well aware of the new problems that arise from the exposure of aircraft and missile structures to elevated temperatures. The task of solving these problems is in its early stage of development. Since the problems are diversified in nature, a different method of solution has to be developed in each case. It is probable that in some cases radically new techniques may have to be devised. Until such time, the structural designer is forced to take a realistic view and use satisfactory extensions of existing methods of analysis.
