Aircraft Materials

Description

- To understand how the properties of metals are related to their composition and microstructure. - To apply these concepts to gain insight into the mechanical behaviour of metal alloys used in aircraft construction. - To understand how the properties of composite materials are related to the properties of the constituent materials, and to be able to calculate these properties using quantitative models. - To acquire knowledge about the constituent materials, the production processes and the in service properties of composites, - Being able to apply the knowledge to design a laminate subject to a simple load condition - To be able to apply the knowledge to solve simple problems related to the relation material composition - production technique - product properties.
