Course Info
At the end of this course, the student will be able to: 1. Calculate stresses/strains in thin walled structures using: -Engineering beam theory (bending and shear) -Torsion theory (closed and open sections) 2. Modify above theories in the presence of cutouts and/or taper 3. Calculate displacements using: -Beam theory -Energy methods (Castigliano’s thms) 4. Determine buckling loads for simple structures (beams, trusses) 5. Design such structures: -Determine geometry so that structure does not fail (thickness of skins under bending, shear and torsion; cross-sectional geometry of beams under compression)

This course covers stress analysis of thin-walled structures and other topics such as unsymmetric bending, energy methods and buckling which is about 66% of topics covered in AERE321. It misses out on the matrix methods for structural analysis that is taught in AERE321 but teaches methods to calculate displacements using beam theory and energy methods which kind of substitutes for the ability to analyze simple structures for calculating displacements. It is desirable if the student has also taken an additional course on matrix analysis of structures.
