ME 466/566 Aerospace Structures

Credits: (3-0) 3

This course presents techniques for the structural analysis of thin-walled structures as encountered in air- and spacecraft structures. Topics include modeling and idealization methods of aerospace structures for the prediction and analysis of stress and strain distributions due to torsion, bending, and transverse shear loading; elastic buckling of thin-walled structures; as well as the mechanics of composite laminates.

Prerequisites: ME 316
Notes: Students enrolled in ME 566 will be held to a higher standard than those enrolled in ME 466.
