Course description
This course examines aerospace structural design, with an emphasis on metallic structures. The course covers: 1) certification (i.e. what is required to demonstrate that a structural component is safe and compliant with applicable regulations); 2) stress analysis techniques used to design and certify the thin walled structures which comprise most of the aircraft structure; 3) characteristics and manufacturing processes for high strength aerospace metallic materials; 4) structural optimisation in a practical context (i.e. how to design a component, in terms of materials and sizing, to have minimum weight, the required strength, and be suitable for manufacture).
