JGI

Jain Group of Institutions (JGI), a premier educational group aimed

at harnessing, nurturing and transforming the potential of individuals
across a diverse spectrum of backgrounds, provides quality education
from kindergarten and charitable schooling to professional and International Institute for Aerospace Engineering and
vocational courses. JGI owes its establishment to the visionary Management (IIAEM)
chairman, Sri R. Chenraj Jain and is today a bouquet of 29 [a unit of Jain Group of Institutions]
institutions with over 26000 students on its rolls. Aerospace Education and Management Studies Trust (AEMST)
AEMST and
Society of Indian Aerospace Technologies and Industries (SIATI)
Aerospace Education and Management Studies Trust (AEMST), has
been formed by aerospace professionals who worked in aerospace Announces a Short course on
industries, national laboratories, educational institutes, and defence
organisations, with the specific purpose to share their experience and
provide quality continuing education to working professionals.
ADVANCES IN AEROSPACE STRUCTURES
SIATI
from 22nd to 27th September 2008
Venue: Aeronautical Society of India Building,
The Society of Indian Aerospace Technologies & Industries (SIATI) Suranjandas Road, Off Old Madras Road, Bangalore – 560 075
have made pioneering efforts in bringing industry, R&D collaborations
within India and with overseas organisations to enhance self-reliance
in aerospace technology and manufacturing. In addition to major
aerospace players it has now about 300 Small, Medium and Large
Scale private industries engaged in development and manufacture of
aircraft structures, systems/equipments. SIATI was founded on the
initiative taken by Dr. C.G. Krishnadas Nair.

About the course

The conventional safe-life designs give place to fail-safe designs, which in turn
translate into Damage Tolerant (DT) design. Now it is mandatory, in particular for
transport aircraft to design based on DT principles. Similarly, the need for
competitive structures brought forth the development of advanced materials.
Carbon composites seem to fit the bill. They have however, added issues of
manufacture, design and quality control. Modern developments in the area of
sensors (such as MEMS) made it possible to adopt composite structures with
embedded sensors which can be used to do the most beneficial jobs of Structural
Health Monitoring and Vibration Control. Still to-day Aero-elastic effects are major
issues with insufficient solutions, both for the airframe and the engine.
This course is designed for experienced designers who have faced most of the
problems mentioned above and teachers of aerospace structural design who need
to be knowledgeable to teach undergraduate and post-graduate students on
modern developments. The course presentation will bring out the critical issues &
possible solutions as visualized by R&D scientists. The course is intended to
familiarize the participants on the modern developments in aerospace structural
design and analysis.
Teaching faculty
Lectures will be delivered by experts on various topics from academic institutes
and research laboratories.
