Aerospace Materials.

Catalog description

Semester course; 3 lecture hours (delivered online, face-to-face or hybrid). 3 credits. Prerequisite: EGMN 309 . Enrollment is restricted to students with senior or graduate standing or with permission of the instructor. In this course students will study the science and engineering of the materials used in aircraft, helicopters and spacecraft. The focus is on the structural materials used in the airframe and propulsion system. The materials that are used in the main structures (e.g., fuselage, wings, landing gear, control surfaces) and the propulsion systems (e.g., jet engines, helicopter rotor blades) are examined in terms of materials-structure-property relationship.
