AE 251 - Structural Vibrations for Aerospace Applications

3 units
Introduces the analysis of vibrations of very flexible bodies encountered as elements of aircraft wings and space structures. Topics include: free and forced vibrations of single- and multi-degree of freedom systems, simplified analysis of vibrations induced by flutter, free and forced vibrations of wings in bending and torsion, signal processing techniques for time-varying signals, forced and ground vibration testing of aerospace components, finite element analysis for wings and space structures, spacecraft and aircraft dynamic design loads.

Prerequisite(s): Graduate standing in Aerospace or Mechanical Engineering or instructor consent.
Grading: Graded
