MAE 316LEC—Aerospace Structures

Explores the theory of light structures including beam bending, shear stress, shear center, and composite beams; shear flow, warping stresses, and secondary warping; torsion of thin-walled single and multi-cell tubes; deformation of struts, plates, frames, and trusses; stress analysis of connections; composite structures and sandwich construction. Also covers computer implementation with applications to aircraft and aerospace structures.
