Objectives and Outcomes
Course Objectives:
The main objectives of this course is to impart thorough knowledge of advanced composite materials, their manufacturing techniques and to develop mathematical models & design structures made of composites. Basic understanding of structures used in airborne systems like missiles and aircrafts& their performance under static and dynamic loading, including crash and bird strike will also be covered.
Course Outcomes:
At the end of the course the student should be able to:
- Understand the design of advanced structures and lightweight materials for aerospace materials.
- Understand the numerical and analytical skills in structural mechanics for both composite and metallic components.
- Apply knowledge to solve real engineering problems.
