AIRCRAFT STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS AND DESIGN

Catalog description

Application of work and energy principles, and numerical methods, to the design of flight vehicles. Study of deflection and load analysis using the principle of virtual work, principle of contemporary virtual work, analytical weak form solutions, and the finite element formulation. Wing design considering: fatigue, aeroelasticity, divergence, environmental loads, aerospace materials, dynamic stability of thin-walled compression members, and structural dynamics.
