The Department of Aerospace Engineering seeks to instruct the design, analysis, testing, and operation of vehicles which operate in air, water, or space, including studies of aerodynamics, structure mechanics, propulsion, and the like.
History
The Department of Aerospace Engineering was organized as the Department of Aeronautical Engineering in 1942. Its name was changed to the Department of Aerospace Engineering in 1961. In 1990, the department absorbed the Department of Engineering Science and Mechanics and became the Department of Aerospace Engineering and Engineering Mechanics. In 2003 the name was changed back to the Department of Aerospace Engineering.

Abstract
The propagation of a longitudinal wave in an anisotropic cylindrical bar immersed in water is considered. Energy is leaked into the surrounding fluid in the form of traveling waves, and this leakage determines the amplitude of the signal in the rod. This aspect is important in nondestructive evaluation of composite rods. The governing equation of the longitudinal waves traveling in the rod is obtained and is solved numerically to obtain the dispersion curves and the attenuation, which is due to the energy leaked into the fluid. Results are presented for rods of five different materials.
