Aerospace materials :
Traditionally aluminum alloys and steel alloys
More recently, titanium alloys, and fiberreinforced composites.
Titanium alloys: used in the early stages of a
compressor in gas turbine engine design
Nickel-based alloys or steels are used for the
hotter later stages.

Structural Integrity
Design for Strength
Design for Stiffness
Optimized Design:
Strength to Weight
Stiffness to Weight
Fatigue Resistance to Weight
Weight is critical
Very small margins: no room for error

In Summary
A good a/c structural design process considers:
The specific role of each part/component
The loads applied
The stresses that result
The deformations that ensue
The geometric layout to counter
The material to resist
An excellent a/c structural design is one that
ensures integrity at the lowest weight possible.
