Analysis of thin-walled members with closed or open cross section \u2013 shear center \u2013 warping and distortion, torsion-bending problems of thin bodies. Analysis of thin-walled pressure vessels under internal \/ external pressure, bending disturbances due to geometrical discontinuities. Shear flow theory \u2013 analysis of beam shear in closed or open cross-section, multiple-web beams, flat or curved members. Simplified analysis of aeronautical structures (fuselage \u2013 wing under bending, torsion and shear, wing ribs). The principle of virtual work \u2013 The unit load method. Maxwell-Mohr method. Applications in aeronautical and lightweight structures.<\/p>\n<p><strong>LEARNING OUTCOMES<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The course aims to provide the basic knowledge required in the structural analysis of typical Aircraft Structures, such that the stress state of basic aircraft components (wing, fuselage, tail, etc) may be calculated.The main learning outcomes expected are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Students know the role of the basic aircraft components;<\/li>\n<li>Students know how to calculate loading on these basic components of aircraft structures;<\/li>\n<li>Students are able to perform stress analysis of the primary components of an aircraft structure, using simple and more advanced analysis methodologies.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The course knowledge is exploited in other \/ next courses, such as \u2018Analysis of Aircraft Structures II\u2019 and \u2018Finite Element for Structural Analysis\u2019.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":11551,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"msc_category":[],"courses_cat":[1693],"class_list":["post-35409","courses","type-courses","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","courses_cat-aeronautics-engineering-7th-semester-compulsory"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Analysis of Aerospace Structures - MEAD<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/mead.upatras.gr\/en\/courses\/analysis-of-aerospace-structures\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Analysis of Aerospace Structures - MEAD\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"COURSE CONTENT The lightweight design philosophy and the application of [...]\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/mead.upatras.gr\/en\/courses\/analysis-of-aerospace-structures\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"MEAD\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/mead.upatras.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/courses.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1374\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"776\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/mead.upatras.gr\\\/en\\\/courses\\\/analysis-of-aerospace-structures\\\/\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/mead.upatras.gr\\\/en\\\/courses\\\/analysis-of-aerospace-structures\\\/\",\"name\":\"Analysis of Aerospace Structures - MEAD\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/mead.upatras.gr\\\/en\\\/#website\"},\"primaryImageOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/mead.upatras.gr\\\/en\\\/courses\\\/analysis-of-aerospace-structures\\\/#primaryimage\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/mead.upatras.gr\\\/en\\\/courses\\\/analysis-of-aerospace-structures\\\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/mead.upatras.gr\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2018\\\/10\\\/courses.jpg\",\"datePublished\":\"2025-04-11T08:46:29+00:00\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/mead.upatras.gr\\\/en\\\/courses\\\/analysis-of-aerospace-structures\\\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\\\/\\\/mead.upatras.gr\\\/en\\\/courses\\\/analysis-of-aerospace-structures\\\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/mead.upatras.gr\\\/en\\\/courses\\\/analysis-of-aerospace-structures\\\/#primaryimage\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/mead.upatras.gr\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2018\\\/10\\\/courses.jpg\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/mead.upatras.gr\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2018\\\/10\\\/courses.jpg\",\"width\":1374,\"height\":776},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/mead.upatras.gr\\\/en\\\/courses\\\/analysis-of-aerospace-structures\\\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"\",\"item\":\"https:\\\/\\\/mead.upatras.gr\\\/en\\\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Aeronautics Engineering 7th Semester Compulsory\",\"item\":\"https:\\\/\\\/mead.upatras.gr\\\/en\\\/courses_cat\\\/aeronautics-engineering-7th-semester-compulsory\\\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":3,\"name\":\"Analysis of Aerospace Structures\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/mead.upatras.gr\\\/en\\\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/mead.upatras.gr\\\/en\\\/\",\"name\":\"MEAD\",\"description\":\"\u03a4\u03bc\u03ae\u03bc\u03b1 \u039c\u03b7\u03c7\u03b1\u03bd\u03bf\u03bb\u03cc\u03b3\u03c9\u03bd &amp;
