| Course Description | The aeronautical structure course provides students with important tools to understand the analysis and design of aeronautical structures. It reviews the concepts of stress, strain, and elasticity equations. It covers the analysis of plane stress and plane strain problems with application to aeronautical structural elements including general bending and torsion of rods and beams and thin-walled structures and box girders. |
