Primary Goals
The primary goal of this course is to learn about the various stresses in the form of
bending, shearing and torsion on a various thin and thick aircraft structural parts i.e.
fuselage, wings structures, empenage section and landing gear structure. The primary
factors to consider in aircraft structures are strength, weight, and reliability etc.

COURSE OBJECTIVE
• This course identify about the loading systems acting on various aircraft
structural parts where the stress variations are important and must be taken
into account.

Shear flow distribution in thin-walled single & multi-cell structures
subject to combined bending torsion with walls effective and ineffective in
bending
• Thus far, we have concentrated on the
bending of shell beams.
• In the general case a beam is subjected
to:
•axial load, F
• bending moments, M
• shear forces, S
• torque (torsional moments), T
Shear flow distribution in thin-walled single & multi-cell structures
subject to combined bending torsion with walls effective and
ineffective in bending
• Idealize the cross-section of the shell beam into two parts:
1- Parts that carry extensional stress, σxx (and thus the bending and axial loads)
2- Parts that carry shear stress σxs (and thus the shear loads and torques)
Two examples again…
1- high aspect ratio wing with semi-monocoque construction Notes:
2- monocoque construction
– all in one piece without internal framing
– from French “coque” meaning “eggshell”
– “mono” = one piece
- semi-monocoque – stressed skin construction with internal framework – still have
“eggshell” to carry shear stresses, σxs – internal framework to carry axial stress, σxx
