This document outlines the topics that will be covered each week in a structures course over two semesters. The topics include modeling and analysis of different structural elements like beams, plates, shells, and composites. Analysis methods include exact solutions, stress calculations, vibration analysis, and elastic/plastic behavior. Students will complete homework assignments and have three midterm tests throughout the course to assess their understanding of the structural modeling and analysis concepts.
