OBJECTIVES:
To enable the students understand the behavior of aircraft structural components under
different loading conditions.
To provide the Principle involved in photo elasticity and its applications in stress analysis
for composite laminates.
LIST OF EXPERIMENTS

2. Verification of superposition theorem
3. Verification of Maxwell’s reciprocal theorem
4. Buckling load estimation of slender eccentric columns
5. Determination of flexural rigidity of composite beams
6. Unsymmetrical Bending of a Cantilever Beam
7. Combined bending and Torsion of a Hollow Circular Tube
8. Material Fringe Constant of a Photo elastic Models
9. Shear Centre of a Channel Section
10. Free Vibration of a Cantilever Beam

12. Fabrication of a Composite Laminate.
13. Determination of Elastic constants for a Composite Tensile Specimen.
14. Determination of Elastic constants for a Composite Flexural Specimen.
15. Tension field beam
TOTAL: 45 PERIODS
OUTCOMES:
The students will be able to identify waste in any process, reduce the waste using proper
kaizens and other methods thereby improving the productivity of the organisation using LM
tools.
