Practical Application of Finite Element Analysis to Aircraft Structural Design

Abstract

This Lecture Series will introduce the main aspects of finite element analysis and modelling with emphasis placed on the solution of practical design problems. An outline will be given of the broad principles of the finite element method with some emphasis on the limitations of the technique. This will be followed by an explanation of the modelling problems encountered in the analysis of real structures together with their resolution. The use of one of the FE systems will be included.
