EAS 4200 - Introduction to Aero Structures

Credits: 3

Course Description: This course will apply the theories of mechanics introduced in EGN 3331 - Strength of Materials to aerospace structures. Topics covered will include stress analysis of aircraft components (i.e., wing spars/box beams, fuselages, wings), introduction to aero elasticity and the phenomena of wing flutter, structural/loading discontinuities in closed and open section beams, and bending, shear and torsion analysis in thin-walled beams.
Prerequisites: EGN 3331 - Strength of Materials
