MAE 6030
Space Structures

Course information provided by the 2024-2025 Catalog. Courses of Study 2024-2025 is scheduled to publish mid-June.

The Space Structures class introduces students to mechanical concepts used in the realization of lightweight structures, their application to space systems, and the scientific methods employed to assess their performance. The class provides the analytical foundations to analyze modern structures that fold, deploy, and undergo large deformations, as well as a methodology to design them.


Permission Note Enrollment limited to: graduate students.

Last 4 Terms Offered 2025SP, 2024SP

Outcomes

  • The student will be able to derive equivalent homogenized properties for structures made of multiple members or components.
  • The student will learn how to assess the performance of these structures given requirements on mass and stiffness.
  • The student will be able to identify suitable structural concepts given a practical problem, and design specific structures using the analytical methods covered in the class.

When Offered Spring.
