Unit I
UNSYMMETRICAL BENDING OF BEAMS
Unsymmetrical bending of beams – different methods of analysis (neutral axis method, âkâ method, and the principal axis method), stresses and deflections in beams under unsymmetricalbending.
Unit II
SHEAR FLOW IN OPEN SECTIONS
Definition and expression for shear flow due to bending, shear flow in thin-walled Open sections with and without stiffening elements, torsion of thin-walled Open sections, the shear center of symmetric and unsymmetrical open sections, structural idealization.
Unit III
Download the iStudy App for all syllabus and other updates.
Unit IV
BUCKLING OF PLATES
Behaviour of a rectangular plate under compression, governing equation for plate buckling, buckling analysis of sheets and stiffened panel under compression, concept of the effective sheet width, buckling due to shear and combined loading, crippling.
Unit V
AIRCRAFT STRESS ANALYSIS
Loading and analysis of aircraft wing, fuselage, and tail unit. Use of V-n diagram for sizing the aircraft wing, fuselage, and tail unit.
Course Outcomes:
Upon completion of the course, Students will be able to
- Analyse and investigate the normal stress variation on unsymmetrical sections ,,,,subjected to bending moments.
- Determine the shear flow variation in thin walled open sections with skin effective andineffective in bending. Also to find out the shear centre of sections.
- Calculate the shear flow variation in single cell and multicell tubes subjected to shearand torque loads
- Investigate the behaviour of buckling of simply supported plates and also to know theeffective width of sheet stringers combination.
- Analyse the shear and bending moment variation of aircraft wing and fuselage and also to know the characteristics of thin webbed beams.
