At the end of the course, the student should be able to understand and analyze aerospace engineering components subject to different types of loading. In particular, the objective is to introduce the student to i) The methods of stress, deformation analysis in the design of aerospace engineering components, ii)  Hook's law for isotropic, orthotopic, and an-isotropic materials iii) Body forces and thermal stress analysis in the design process,iV) stress concentration v) advanced theories of bending.

Independent learning, professionalism and applications to real engineering applications and problems will be stressed throughout.
