Supervisor: | prof. Ing. Ivo Dlouhý, CSc. | |||
Supervising institute: | ÚMVI | |||
Teaching language: | Czech | |||
Aims of the course unit: | ||||
The aim of the course Aircraft Materials is to inform students of present state in the area of structural materials for aircraft structures and to provide them with methodical and objective knowledge. |
||||
Learning outcomes and competences: | ||||
The course Aircraft Materials makes students familiar with representative aircraft structural materials as well as with their optimal use. Students will be able to evaluate different material variants of aircraft structures according their strength, lifetime and damage tolerance. | ||||
Prerequisites: | ||||
Basic knowledge of relations between composition, processing, structure and properties of structural materials. Basic terminology of physical metallurgy and material limit states. | ||||
Course contents: | ||||
The course Aircraft Materials and Technology is focused on compositions, processing effects, microstructures, properties and typical applications of selected aircraft materials. Special material requirements. Aluminium alloys, magnesium alloys, titanium alloys, high strength steels, nickel-base and cobalt-base superalloys, fibre and particle composites, nanocomposites and smart materials for aircraft structures. New research and development, international material standards and equivalents. |
||||
Teaching methods and criteria: | ||||
The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Exercises are focused on practical topics presented in lectures. Teaching is suplemented by practical laboratory work. | ||||
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes: | ||||
The course-unit credit requirements: 100% attendance at seminars. It is also necessary to submit completed and sophisticated computational exercises. Obtaining the credit is a condition for admission to the exam. The exam is written. |
||||
Controlled participation in lessons: | ||||
Attendance at seminars is compulsory. In case of justified absence, the missed seminar may be compensated with an individual assignment. Continuous checking is made by means of written tests. In case of a failure, it is required to repeat the test. | ||||
