Selected topics in structural analysis of flying vehicles

Mastering advanced structural analysis methods in metallic and composite sturctures for flying vehicles.

In the end of the completed course, students should be able to: 1. Have theoretical knowledge of structural analysis applied to aerospace structures. 2. Apply theoretical knowledge learned, in solving practical problems. 3. Understand the structural aircraft scheme . 4. Be to effectively apply modern methods for the design and analysis of aircraft structures.
