Aircraft Structures

About the Subject:

When designing an aircraft, it’s all about finding the optimal proportion of the weight of the vehicle and payload. It needs to be strong and stiff enough to withstand the exceptional circumstances in which it has to operate. Durability is an important factor. Also, if a part fails, it doesn’t necessarily result in failure of the whole aircraft. The main sections of an aircraft, the fuselage, tail and wing, determine its external shape. The loadbearing members of these main sections, those subjected to major forces, are called the airframe.The airframe is what remains if all equipment and systems are stripped away.

Topics to be covered in this Seminar:

Statically determinate & indeterminate stuructures-Plane truss analysis – method of joints – method of sections – method of shear – 3-D trusses – Energy Methods-Strain Energy in axial, bending, torsion and shear loadings.  Energy theorems – dummy load & unit load methods – Columns- inelastic buckling – effect of initial curvature – the Southwell plot – columns with eccentricity – use of energy methods – theory of beam columns – Failure theories-Ductile and brittle materials – maximum principal stress theory - maximum principal strain theory - maximum shear stress theory - distortion energy theory – octahedral shear stress theory.Induced stresses-Thermal stresses – impact loading – Fatigue – Creep - Stress Relaxation
