Important announcement

Dear visitor,

Please note that this OpenCourseWare platform will be replaced at the end of 2026 by a new platform (under the same url ocw.tudelft.nl).

Courses and their contents that are currently available the platform will partly be migrated. URL’s for this content will change and content might be unavailable for some time. In addition, some courses will not be available anymore.

If you are linking to specific courses on this platform (for instance for your students), please take timely measures to avoid problems with access. Possible actions are:

  • Download the materials to your local platform (laptop, server)
  • For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

Home Courses Advanced Design and Optimization of Composite Structures I Course materials Exercises Final project_AE4509

Final project_AE4509

Course subject(s) 14. Fittings and pressurized structures 15. Exercises

The grade for AE4509 is determined by handing in assignments. There are four different problem sets, released every two weeks, followed by a final assignment that is worth 50% of the total course grade. The combined weighed average of these five assignments will determine your grade four this course.

The methods of solving these problems are covered in the lectures, and explained in more detail in the book. To be able to solve the assignments you require the following:

  • Basic structural mechanics and strength analysis
  • Composites (classical laminated-plate theory)
  • Maths: basic calculus, ODE’s, infinite series
  • Structural design & optimization
  • Access to software that calculates ABD matrices and  automates calculations
