Course contents :
|
| The purpose of the lectures is to introduce the design of semi monocoque structures used in aeronautics. Two domains are studied:
- Structural idealization: Analytical models of wing and fuselage based on thin-walled section beams
- Numerical model of thin structures: Introduction to finite-element model of plates and shells.
|
|
Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| To acquire the methodology required to conduct a preliminary study in the context of aircraft structures. |
