Aerospace Structures I

Catalog description

Aerospace Structures I: This course is designed to introduce the students to the analysis and the design of aerospace structures. Review concepts of stress, strain, and equations of elasticity. Plane stress and plane strain. Applications to aerospace structural elements including thin-walled beams with open and closed section, unsymmetrical bending of wing sections, torsion of skin-stringer and multi-cell sections, flexural shear in open and closed sections, Shear Center and failure criteria.
