AE3403- Aircraft Structures - I Syllabus Regulation 2021 Anna University

Regulation 2021, Anna University Subject code – AE3403 deals with B.E Aeronautical Engineering 2nd year semester IV Aircraft Structures – I Syllabus. To prepare for challenging subjects in the field of Aeronautics need a detailed syllabus and preparation strategies. In this article, we discuss the Aircraft Structures – I syllabus.

We intend to provide every topic of the syllabus and content required for academic performance, along with reference books. In this article, AE3403 – Aircraft Structures – I Syllabus, you will be guided to get an idea of each topic of the syllabus and you can make your preparation strategy, and notes by filtering difficult topics from the different subjects. Then you can concentrate on the topic where you need to focus more. We included all the topics regarding the Aeronautical syllabus. We hope this information is useful to you. Don’t forget to share it with your friends and classmates.

If you want to know more about the syllabus of B.E Computer Science and Engineering connected to an affiliated institution’s under four-year undergraduate degree programme. We provide you with a detailed Year-wise, semester-wise, and Subject-wise syllabus in the following link B.E Aeronautical Engineering Syllabus Anna University, Regulation 2021.

Aim Of Concept:

  • To provide the students an understanding on the linear static analysis of determinate and indeterminate aircraft structural components.
  • To provide the students an understanding on energy methods to statically determinate and indeterminate structures
  • To make the students to Create a structure to carry the given load.
  • To make the students to Calculate the response of statically indeterminate structures under various loading conditions.
  • To provide the design process using different failure theories
