Here I am providing the detailed syllabus for B.E (Aerospace Engg) program of IISC Bangalore. Flight and Space Mechanics: Pioneers in aerospace history; basics of flight; airflow in standard atmosphere; airplane aerodynamics-airfoils and finite drag surfaces; thrust, power, level flight, gliding, take-off, landing and basic maneuvers; airplane performance, stability and control; mechanics of launch vehicles and satellites; introduction to aerospace design, structural components and engine options; glimpses of new technologies like unmanned, micro aerial and hypersonic vehicles. Flight Vehicle Structures: Characteristics of aircraft structures and materials. Introduction to elasticity. Torsion. Bending and flexural shear. Flexural shear flow in thin-walled sections. Elastic buckling. Failure theories. Variational principles and energy methods. Analysis of composite laminates. Loads on aircraft. Basic aeroelasticity Engineering Optimization: Applied aspects of static, deterministic and smooth optimization in engineering design and manufacturing. Topics include formulation of engineering optimization problems, optimization methods applied to unconstrained and constrained linear and nonlinear functions of one or more variables, solution evaluation and sensitivity analysis, and practicalities in engineering optimization modeling and methods. Introduction to response surface methods and genetic algorithms. Note: This course is now offered as part of the Indo-French Cyber University with Professor M. Masmoudi, University of Toulouse, via the IISc digital library.
