INTRODUCTION TO AIRCRAFT STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS

Catalog description

Introduction and application of solid mechanics to analyze aerospace structures. Study of aircraft components and their design philosophy. Environmental load design diagrams. Development and application of elasticity to describe the stress, strain, and displacement fields of one- and two-dimensional problems in aerospace structures. Analysis of bending, shear and torsional theories for arbitrary, multimaterial, and multicell wing cross-sections. Analysis of thin-walled single and multicell stiffened shell sections using analytical and numerical solutions.
