20830038 - Aerospace Materials

The course provides the elements and methods useful for a critical materials selection, used in the field of aerospace engineering, evaluating not only the fundamental characteristics such as performance and durability, but also those linked to sustainable selection, carbon footprint, reduction of energy consumption, pollutant emissions, noise, accidents and their consequences.
The specific aims of the course will be: to enable students to understand process/structure/property correlations in advanced materials, and assess how this affect performance through a rational material selection process; to enable students to understand and control material failure in aerospace applications; to evaluate sustainability issues in the selection of materials for aerospace; to provide students with the most advanced tools for materials selection in aerospace applications; tTo provide students with comprehensive knowledge on the main classes of advanced materials for aerospace, including high-temperature alloys, advanced ceramics, composites and advanced coatings for aerospace applications.

Attendance

The course is divided into approximately 25 frontal classroom lessons. A series of lessons, in particular those on the most advanced and frontier aspects, can be held at the LIME laboratory, in order to have the possibility of viewing the materials immediately after the lesson through the use of the characterization instruments available at LIME . Some hours of the course are dedicated to the direct use (with the supervision of the teacher and/or a qualified technician) of the software tools provided in the course.

Type of evaluation

The students' preparation is assessed through a written test, followed by an oral examination (optional, if the written test is sufficient). The possibility of an intermediate test to be made halfway through the course will also be assessed, depending on the specific needs of the students.
