Course Objectives
• To introduce the basic concepts required to analyze an aircraft/space craft structure
(or any other structure).
• Revisit of the same from a more general elasticity approach, leading to assess the error
introduced/range of applicability of these idealizations.

vidually the programs will be evaluated. You are expected to submit the same with in 2
weeks.
Term Paper
Each stuednt has to present a term paper for 5 marks and reproduce atleast one result from
a reputed journal dealing with elasticity. Date of presenation will be during the last weeks
