Course Overview

This course equips participants with foundational and practical skills in aircraft stress analysis. You’ll learn stress and strain fundamentals, aircraft load types (static, dynamic, gust, maneuver, thermal), basic hand calculations for bending, torsion, shear and axial loads, and an introduction to FEM/FEA concepts. The curriculum covers structural types and materials (metallic and composite), common failure modes (fatigue, buckling, fracture), material testing and NDT methods, and the preparation of certification-grade stress reports aligned with regulatory expectations (EASA/FAA). Hands-on tutorials and worked examples help you apply calculations, interpret test results, and document compliant stress analyses.

Overview of Technology

Fundamental FEA/FEM concepts and workflows, spreadsheet-based stress calculation methods, common stress-analysis software outputs (e.g., Nastran/Patran, Ansys workflows), and non-destructive testing (NDT) techniques for verification. Course exposure includes practical use of calculation templates, basic FEA setup concepts, and methods for linking analysis results to certification documentation.
