Catalog description

Semester course; 3 lecture hours (delivered online, face-to-face or hybrid). 3 credits. Prerequisite: EGMN 202 . Enrollment is restricted to students with senior or graduate standing or with permission of the instructor. This course includes a review of mechanics of deformables; two-dimensional plane stress and strain; analysis of thin-walled beams with open and closed cross-sections, unsymmetrical bending of wing sections, torsion of skin-stringer and multi-cell sections, flexural shear in open and closed cross-section; principles of stressed skin (monocoque) structural design; stress analysis of structural components of aircraft -- wings, wings spars, wing ribs, fuselages and fuselage frames; and introduction to aeroelasticity.
