Structural Repair for Engineers - Part 1 - Courses
Description:
This course prepares the trainee to assess, design and analyze metallic repairs for damage beyond the limits described in the Structural Repair Manual (SRM). The course includes a combination of lecture, discussion, practical exercises, and two examinations. Students should come to class equipped to perform mathematical calculations. In addition, when taught in Seattle a 10th day is included to conduct a field trip to the Boeing factory.
Objectives: This course satisfies ATA 104 Level IV objectives. Upon completion of the course, the student will be able to:
• Identify the basic design requirements for structural repairs.
• Describe typical aircraft structures and loads.
• Identify typical metallic structures and the properties of metals.
• Identify fasteners and joints used in repairs.
• Calculate joint load capabilities for typical aircraft structure.
• Describe the basic design for durability requirements.
• Design a metallic structural repair for damage beyond SRM limits with reasonable assurance of approval from Boeing or other approval agencies.
Prerequisites: Engineering degree or equivalent experience
