Design of Aircraft Structures

 

Instructor:

Michael Mohaghegh, PhD Technical Fellow in Advanced Structures and Materials Boeing Commercial Aircraft Company

 

 

 

 

 

Overview:

This course examines the latest concepts and lessons learned in design of aircraft metal and composite structures, including evolution of design criteria, structural design concepts, evolution of advanced materials, static strength, buckling, durability and damage tolerance, practical design considerations, validation, and certification. Design and analysis exercises are included to involve students in the learning process.

 

Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this course you should be able to:

• Describe the evolution of design criteria
• Assess structural design concepts
• Demonstrate knowledge of advanced materials
• Evaluate strength and stability
• Describe the validation and certification proces

Who Should Attend:

The course is designed for practicing engineers and managers. It is also beneficial for educators whose responsibilities include aircraft structures.
