An overview of OSU, CEAT, MAE Aerospace Structure I Course Aerospace Capstone Project BalloonSat Project
20 Faculty members
Offers B.S.M.E. and B.S.A.E (or Double Major in A.E./M.E.), both ABET accredited More than 130 graduate and 400 undergraduate students 100% growth in aerospace engineering enrollment compared with two years ago
Parallel theory class and lab for five weeks; theory class for the rest.
Phase-I
Research
Teach and demonstrate upto-date composite material concepts and fabrication techniques
Phase-II
Division of labor and time management
Drawing group
Fabrication group
Phase-II The calculations methodology is taught in class and covered in homework thoroughly. Use of computer aided tools to develop programs for design Design and Analysis group and analysis Keeping in mind the fabrications requirements. Design lay-ups and tooling such as molds and jogs for assembly. Analysis is conducted for each structural element and the assembly under all loads experienced by the structural member.
Phase-II Gives students hands-on experience with fabrication techniques, tricks and tips, not detailed in textbooks. For example, material selection, ply layups, curing cycle, use of different structures like honeycomb, operations such as sanding, dusting, etc.
Fabrication group
Phase-III Testing
Testing rig helps load the wing under loads equivalent to actual conditions
Use strain gages and image analysis to determine deformations, compare measurement data with analytical results.
