This document outlines the course structure and content for Aerospace Vehicle Structures-I. The course covers 8 units related to redundant structures, beams with elastic supports and initial curvature, stability, introduction to theory of elasticity, stresses and strains on arbitrary planes, energy principles and methods, the displacement method, and shear flow in closed sections. Key concepts include redundant analysis using matrix methods, deflection of beams with discrete elastic supports, stability of columns, plane stress/strain problems in elasticity, Mohr's circle for stresses and strains, application of energy principles to structures, and shear flow in single and multi-cell structures. The course references 3 textbooks on aircraft structures, elasticity, and structural analysis.
