"Aeroelasticity: State-of-the-Art Practices" Course
co-located with the AIAA Structures Conference Event
**Free Conference Registration!**
| Synopsis: |
In recent years there has been a renewed interest in aeroelasticity arising from high performance aerospace systems, multiple control surface configurations, and pathologies associated with nonlinear behavior. This course provides a brief overview of aeroelasticity and examines many new “fronts” currently being pursued in aeroelasticity that include reduced-order models, integrated fluid-structural dynamic models, ground vibration testing, wind tunnel tests, robust flutter identification approaches for wind tunnel and flight test programs, and aeroservoelasticity. The course will emphasize current practices in both analytical and experimental approaches within industry and government labs, as well as advances as pursued by these organizations with the support of university research. |

"Fundamentals of Composite Structure Design" Course
co-located with the AIAA Structures Conference Event
**Free Conference Registration!**
| Synopsis: |
This course has been developed specifically for engineers who require some fundamental understanding the structural design requirements for composites. The application of composite materials is initially discussed in terms of the constituent component material properties and manufacturing processes based on the design requirements analysis. The tailoring of structural properties through lamination and fibre orientation placement are discussed in relationship to strength of materials issues and load/deformation response. The design development of the laminate is based on design outcomes and how fibre/resin systems and ply orientation is determined to achieve these design outcomes. This seminar will briefly cover the design requirements of stress analysis for the design detail such of joints, structural stiffening against instability and other structural discontinuities. Other aspects of the seminar to be covered include environmental and longevity aspects, certification and in-service support issues. |

"Fundamentals of Non-Deterministic Approaches" Course
co-located with the AIAA Structures Conference Event
**Free Conference Registration!**
| Synopsis: |
This course is offered as an overview of modern engineering methods and techniques used for modeling uncertainty. Fundamentals of probability and statistics are covered briefly to lay the groundwork, followed by overviews of each of the major branches of uncertainty assessment used to support component- and system-level life cycle activities, including design, analysis, optimization, fabrication, testing, maintenance, qualification, and certification. Branches of Non-Deterministic Approaches (NDA) to be covered include fast probability methods (e.g., FORM, SORM, Advanced Mean Value, etc.), simulation methods such as Monte Carlo and importance sampling, surrogate methods such as response surface, as well as more advanced topics such as system reliability, time-dependent reliability, probabilistic finite element analysis, and reliability-based design. An overview of emerging non-probabilistic methods for performing uncertainty analysis will also be presented. |

"Tensegrity Systems" Course
co-located with the AIAA Structures Conference Event
**Free Conference Registration!**
| Synopsis: |
This course is to provide the analytical machinery required to integrate structure and control design, and to show that this optimized structure usually has a finite, rather than an infinite, complexity. The first challenge is to choose the right paradigm for structure design. As opposed to a control system that torques or pushes the structure away from its equilibrium, a tensegrity paradigm for structures will allow one to modify the equilibrium of the structure to achieve the new desired shape, so that power is not required to hold the new shape. Integrating structure and control design will require less power from the control system to accomplish the same objectives. Less control power also impacts the parameters of structure design, since less structural stress is imparted to the structural components during control. |

"Modern Modeling of Aircraft Structures" Course
co-located with the AIAA Structures Conference Event
**Free Conference Registration!**
| Synopsis: |
This course covers a wide variety of modeling techniques associated with modeling entire aircraft and aircraft structural components such as wings, control surfaces, spars, ribs, buckled skin, pressurized and non-pressurized fuselage shell, frames, bulkheads, cabin doors windows and honeycomb floor structure. It covers specific concepts and principles required for computer modeling whole aircraft as well as the latest trends that use intricate automated techniques such as global CFD pressure application and coincident rigid elements. This course is to provide an outline of the techniques and procedures required to determine “the correct solution” well in advance of any required correlation testing or safety determinations.This course demonstrates learned and accumulated methods used over the past 25 years as well as the application of the latest available government and commercial codes. |
