Course Objective:: B.Tech - Aeronautical Engineering Curriculum & Syllabus (Regulation 2018)

This document outlines the curriculum and syllabus for the course "Aircraft Structures - II" which is part of the B.Tech Aeronautical Engineering program. The course aims to teach students to analyze the behavior of aircraft structural components under different loads. It covers topics such as unsymmetrical bending, shear flow in open and closed sections, buckling of plates, and aircraft stress analysis. Assessment is based on lectures, tutorials, practical sessions, and 5 experiments involving testing of beams, tubes, and aircraft structural components.
