Overview of the subject
In this class, methodologies to compute an overall load path and approximate stress distribution will be learned by idealizing a realistic aircraft structures, in order to adopt them in the preliminary and detail design. Since the practical computations are conducted by numerical analysis, physical and mechanical aspects will rather be emphasized by going through simple analysis problems involving low-order numerical computation.
