AS3412: Aerospace Structures Laboratory syllabus for Aerospace Engg 2021 regulation

Aerospace Structures Laboratory detailed syllabus for Aerospace Engineering (Aerospace Engg) for 2021 regulation curriculum has been taken from the Anna University official website and presented for the Aerospace Engg students. For course code, course name, number of credits for a course and other scheme related information, do visit full semester subjects post given below.

For Aerospace Engineering 4th Sem scheme and its subjects, do visit Aerospace Engg 4th Sem 2021 regulation scheme. The detailed syllabus of aerospace structures laboratory is as follows.

Course Objectives:

• To experimentally study the unsymmetrical bending of beams,
• To find the location of shear centre
• To obtain the stresses in circular discs and beams using photo elastic techniques
• To calibration of photo-elastic materials and study on vibration of beams.

List of Experiments:

1. Unsymmetrical bending of beams.
2. Find the shear centre location for open sections.
3. Find the shear centre location for closed sections.
4. Experiment the constant strength beam.
5. Draw the flexibility matrix for cantilever beam.
6. Beam with combined loading.
7. Calibration of Photo-elastic materials.
8. Stresses in circular discs and beams using photo-elastic techniques.
9. Vibrations of beams.
10. Experiment with the Wagner beam – Tension field beam.

Course Outcomes:

On successful completion of this course, the student will be able to

• Evaluate the effects of bending in the aerospace structures.
• Explain the shear centre of the aerospace structures.
• Compare the photo-elastic techniques on the aerospace structures.
• Justify the experimental findings in clear oral and concise report.
