scheda docente | materiale didattico

Programma

Introductory concepts and classification. Performance parameters. Definition of thrust and power. Definition of efficiencies. Simple turbojet; turbofan; turboprop. Propellers and blade element theory. Nozzles and diffusers (subsonic and supersonic flows).
Introduction to aircraft design and semi-monocoque structures: loads acting on aircraft, regulations for aircraft design, box-wing concept.
Stress and strain analysis on beams: a review of bidirectional bending, torsion, and shear of open and closed thin-walled beams. Torsion and shear in multicell thin-walled beams.
Structural analysis of semi-monocoque structures: beam theory for torsion and shear of multicell thin-walled beams, stiffened and tapered. Structural idealization.
Introduction to structural instability: buckling of beams (Euler's critical load).
