An introduction to the mechanical properties and behaviour of materials, internal loads in basic structures, resulting stress, strain and deformation, structural design and the architecture of aircraft structures. Aims: To introduce the mechanical properties and behaviour of materials, internal loads in basic structures, resulting stress, strain and deformation and the architecture of aircraft structures.
On successful completion of the unit the students will be able to:
Teaching will be delivered through a combination of synchronous and asynchronous sessions, which may include lectures, practical activities supported by drop-in sessions, problem sheets and self-directed exercises.
30% - Assessed work on Structural Loads, Stress Analysis, Materials, Aircraft Structures and laboratory experiment. Involving tests, assignments and a short report.
70% - 3 Hour timed assessment in May/June.
