Course detail: Dynamics for Aerospace Structures
Description
This course is designed to provide participants with strong theoretical and practical knowledge of the methodologies for performing rigid body and modal-based dynamics analysis on a wide range of structural and mechanical systems. The course builds upon the theoretical foundation with practical applications that can be immediately put into practice in the workplace. Both the theory and practice of classical "hand" analysis techniques are presented, along with the more modern (numerical/computational) methods used in the industry. The subject matter difficulty level is intermediate.
Highlights
This course will benefit design engineers who would like to become more familiar with the techniques and modern practices of dynamics analysis to help them be more knowledgeable and bring more capability to the work place. It is also appropriate for mechanical engineers who need to become more proficient in the area of structural dynamics due to a particular job assignment or new career opportunity. Department managers whose staff are involved in loads and dynamics work are also encouraged to attend.
Course Fees
Early registration course fee: $2,295 if you register and pay by the early registration deadline (45 days prior to the first day of class).
Regular registration course fee: $2,495 if you register and pay after the early registration deadline.
Certificate Tracks
Aircraft Design, Aircraft Structures
Classroom hours/CEUs
28 classroom hours
2.8 CEUs
Course Accessibility
Individuals with disabilities are encouraged to participate in University of Kansas educational offerings. If you require a reasonable accommodation in order to participate in our Aerospace Short Courses, please email jayhawkglobal@ku.edu or call 785-864-6779 at least three weeks before the first day of the event.
