MAE 352 - Aerospace Materials

Introduces physical-chemical/microstructural and working mechanical properties, along with practical applications, for materials of wide interest on aerospace materials. Includes common metal, polymer, ceramic, and composite materials. Topics include standard materials names/designations; standard forming methods; usual strengthening means; temperature and temperature-history effects; common processing methods; common properties measurement and other testing methods; oxidation/ corrosion processes; sources of abrupt failure; creep; and viscoelastic behaviors. Case studies illustrate engineering application advantages and disadvantages for specific materials, forming, and processing methods. Material selection philosophy and procedures. Use of material property data base. (Y)
