Aircraft Structures – I Syllabus for B.Tech 4th sem is covered here. This gives the details about credits, number of hours and other details along with reference books for the course.
The detailed syllabus for Aircraft Structures – I B.Tech (R13) fourthsem is as follows
OBJECTIVES:
- To provide the students an understanding on the linear static analysis of determinate and indeterminate aircraft structural components.
- To provide the design process using different failure theories.
UNIT I : STATICALLY DETERMINATE & INDETERMINATE STRUCTURES [9 hours]
Plane truss analysis – method of joints – method of sections – method of shear – 3-D trusses – principle of super position, clapeyron’s 3 moment equation and moment distribution method for indeterminate beams.
UNIT II : ENERUNIT II ENERGY METHODS [10 hours]
Strain Energy in axial, bending, torsion and shear loadings. Castigliano’s theorems and their applications. Energy theorems – dummy load & unit load methods – energy methods applied to statically determinate and indeterminate beams, frames, rings & trusses.
UNIT III: COLUMNS [10 hours]
Euler’s column curve – inelastic buckling – effect of initial curvature – the Southwell plot – columns with eccentricity – use of energy methods – theory of beam columns – beam columns with different end conditions – stresses in beam columns.
[TOTAL (L:45+T:15): 60 PERIODS]
OUTCOMES
- Ability to perform linear static analysis of determinate and indeterminate aircraft structural components
