STRESS
A Course on Practical Stress Analysis of Aircraft Structures
A Course on Practical Stress Analysis of Aircraft Structures
This Practical Stress Analysis course is a comprehensive, application-driven program focused on the structural analysis of aerospace components.
Delivered across six structured modules, the course progresses from regulatory requirements and global aircraft loading through interface loads, fundamental stress analysis, stability and buckling, joint design, and fatigue and damage tolerance.
Emphasis is placed on real-world engineering practice, with theory reinforced through more than 100 worked exercises, guided calculations, and end-of-module assessments.
Learners develop a strong understanding of how loads are generated, transferred, and resisted in aircraft structures, while gaining practical skills aligned with certification, safety, and airworthiness considerations.

Over the past seven years, I have had the pleasure of attending two of his training courses, as well as working with him on several projects. The courses were extremely well structured and delivered, with content that was both technically thorough and easy to follow. As a trainer, he is patient, highly knowledgeable, and able to engage and teach people at all levels, from apprentices to those with many years of industry experience. Lisa Chambers BEng CEng MRAeS
