This course presents the design philosophy and fundamental concepts of knowledge-based product definition, design for manufacturability, loads, material selection, static strength, durability, damage tolerance, testing, and validation of aerospace structures. Course Description State-of-the-art project-based design of aerospace structures is presented in a modular format. Through lectures, discussion, practical group projects, and design exercises, students will examine the latest criteria, methods, and tools used in the aerospace industry. The class will include visit to The Boeing Company design and manufacturing facilities. The instructor will share many examples of structural designs and lessons learned from aircraft service. At the conclusion of the course, students will have a broad understanding of aerospace structures design including, how structures are designed, analyzed, tested, and certified. The course covers: =85 Design criteria, methods, and tools =85 Design process =85 Knowledge-based engineering =85 Key elements of design for manufacturability =85 Design considerations =85 External and internal design loads =85 Material selection =85 Design of structure for static strength, fatigue performance, and damage tolerance =85 Design for corrosion prevention =85 Certification =85 Validation and =85 Application of above to an aircraft design project. Instructor MIKE MOHAGHEGH, has valuable practical experience from many years working in the industry, including 15 years as FAA Designated Engineering Representative. As a Structures Engineering Manager for Boeing Commercial Airplane Group, he has 20 years experience in designing and analyzing several generations of commercial aircraft. Dr. Mohaghegh has taught various courses in Aerospace Structures at universities in the United States and overseas, as well as short courses for commercial airlines. Dr. Mohaghegh received his B.S. and M.S. in Structural Engineering from the University of California at Berkeley and his Ph.D. in Engineering Mechanics from the University of Washington. He is the chairman of the AIAA's Structures Technical Committee and a member of the Academic Affairs Committee, and former member of MIL HBK V committee. In addition to serving as an Affiliate Professor of Aeronautics and Astronautics at the University of Washington he is also The Boeing Company's research focal at the University of California at Berkeley. The instructor brings practical experience gained from many years working in the industry.
