Materials for Aerospace Applications

Kurzfassung

Students will gain a comprehensive overview of high performance materials for aerospace applications, which includes the well introduced materials and material systems as well as new developments and visionary concepts. They understand how materials and material systems are designed to be light and reliable under extreme service conditions such as fatigue loading, high temperatures, and harsh environments. The students will know about the degradation and damage mechanisms and learn how characterization and testing methods are used for qualifying materials and joints for aerospace applications. They learn about concepts and methods for lifetime assessment.
