UZB 331 - Aerospace Structures

Course Objectives

This course provides a general introduction to the wide range of structural systems that can be studied using aerospace structural analysis techniques. The student is introduced with different types of loadings experienced by air vehicles and space vehicles. Another objective of the course is to teach students fundamentals of materials engineering and identify the important properties for aerospace vehicles. The course aims to teach a wide range of analysis techniques used to design and determine the behavior of thin-wall aerospace structural components

Course Description

Loads on structural components. Gust loads. Bending, shear and torsion of open and closed, thin walled beams. Stress analysis of aerospace structure components.
