Aircraft Structural Accidents
Aircraft Structural Accidents
What We Can Learn From Them
Who should participate
- There are no prerequisites for this course, and it will involve very few mathematical calculations. Design engineers, scientists, college professors, structural engineers, maintenance personnel, airline logistics and liaison engineers, and materials science personnel will benefit. This course is also suited to engineers, technicians, and managers in airlines, aircraft modification centers, aircraft and component manufactures, and defense installations, as well as airworthiness agencies like the FAA.
Key Topics
We will review aircraft structural failure modes like fatigue, buckling, 12 types of corrosion, overload, fretting, thermal failures, wear, impact, spalling… Some high profile aircraft structural accidents will be analyzed in detail as well as some not-so-famous crashes.
The focus is on what lessons Engineers and Technicians can learn.
