An introduction to the mechanical properties and behaviour of materials, internal loads in basic structures, resulting stress, strain and deformation, structural design and the architecture of aircraft structures. Aims: To introduce the mechanical properties and behaviour of materials, internal loads in basic structures, resulting stress, strain and deformation and the architecture of aircraft structures.
On successful completion of the unit the students will be able to:
Perform preliminary structural design of simple structural elements and joints.
Lectures, example classes, labs
30% - Assessed work on Structural Loads, Stress Analysis, Materials, Aircraft Structures and laboratory experiment. Involving tests, assignments and a short report. 70% - 3 Hour examination in May/June, 5 questions to be answered out of 7
