Flight Vehicle Structures and Aeroelasticity

Topics

• 1. Familiarize students with the different load-bearing components and loads encountered in flight vehicles. 2. Sharpen the students’ skills in the statics and dynamics of thin-walled structures. 3. Enhance the students’ aerospace engineering design skills by leveraging the use of the finite element method as a tool for both global and local analysis.
• Ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice. Ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering. Ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data Ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability. Ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems. Understanding of professional and ethical responsibility. The broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental, and societal context. (g) A knowledge of contemporary issues.
