Structural analysis of ultra-high speed aircraft structural components

The buckling characteristics of a hypersonic beaded skin panel were investigated under pure compression with boundary conditions similar to those found in a wing mounted condition. The primary phases of analysis reported include: (1) experimental testing of the panel to failure; (2) finite element structural analysis of the beaded panel with the computer program NASTRAN; and (3) summary of the semiclassical buckling equations for the beaded panel under purely compressive loads. A comparison of each of the analysis methods is also included.

The ME/DE degree at the University of Kansas

An effort to provide advanced engineering education for aeronautical engineers is discussed. The Doctor of Engineering program involves a technical education in the area of interest above that of the M.S. degree. In addition, there is a core of systems, design, business, and technology and society courses which all students must take. Twenty-four hours are required in the core area. The original courses as modified with time still exist. A recent review has indicated a need for change. The core will remain, but it is the hope that the student will have a selection of 30 hours in these areas from which to pick 24 hours. The areas will be changed such that system analyses and design will be integrated to a further extent. The business area will be expanded. Areas such as technology assessment and forecasting will be added.
