Course Name: Aircraft Structures - I

Course abstract

This course is an introduction for the analysis of aircraft structures. It bridges together the basic solid mechanics with applications to aerospace structures. The course starts with the introduction to the basic details of type of structures used in aircraft construction. It is followed by an introduction to the estimation of loads on wing, fuselage and landing gear. Principle of stressed skin structure and indeterminate structures are covered next. Theory of elasticity will be introduced later for analysis of problems related to aerospace structures.

Prof. Anup Ghosh

Prof. Anup Ghosh have guided three Ph. D. student and 3 more students are continuing at present. In this process we have explored and studied the nonlinear behaviour of laminated composite laminates in association with the interdigitated smart composite structures. The study also include the hygrothermal efect on the geometrically nonlinear vibration of AFC actuated composite structures. It includes the active vibration control of smart laminated composite plates. An UAV laboratory has been developed in the recent years in our department. This laboratory is equipped with all possible mode of UAV fabrication facility including fbre reinforced laminated composite structures using vacuum assisted resin transfer moulding procedure. FCive major sponsored R&D projects have been completed/handled. In a nut shell any research related to the structural analysis and experiments of aircraft related structures may be pursued.
