Materials for Aerospace Applications (Wintersemester 2011/2012)

Abstract

Students have a comprehensive overview of high performance materials for aerospace ap-plications, 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 load-ing, high temperatures, and harsh environments. The students 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.
