Vorlesung an der Ruhr-Universität Bochum: 'Materials for Aerospace Applications' WS 2012/13

Lecture for Master Courses in 'Materials Science and Simulation' and Mechanical Engineering: • Loading conditions for components of air- and space crafts (struc-tures and engines) • Development of materials and material systems for specific ser-vice conditions in aerospace applications (e.g. for aero-engines, rocket engines, thermal protection shields for reentry vehicles, light weight structures for airframes, wings, and satellites) • Degradation and damage mechanisms of aerospace materials and material systems under service conditions • Characterization and testing methods for materials and joints for aerospace applications • Concepts and methods for lifetime assessmen
