B.Tech. Degree Examination: (Oct.-18) (EAS-303)

This document is the exam for the 5th semester B.Tech. Degree in Aerospace Engineering. It covers 5 modules related to the analysis of aerospace structures. The modules include topics like determining flexural rigidity and deflection of beams, calculating shear centers and stresses for different beam cross-sections, idealizing wing structures, and explaining different types of aerospace joints and fittings. Students must answer one question from each module, covering topics such as deriving equations for stress distribution, calculating shear centers, and differentiating between joint types.
