Learning outcomes
Starting from the general knowledge of the mechanical behaviour of the materials, the course sets the goal to understand the structural behaviour of aerospace vehicles, the materials and the manufacturing techniques most used.
Course contents
General introduction. Evolution of the requirements, the
materials and the technologies. Structural efficiency and
weight optimisation. Material indices. Metallic materials.
Structure and deformation of polycristalline
structures.Elastic-plastic constitutive law. Alluminium, magnesium
and titanium alloys and steels.Conventional technologies. Polymeric
materials. Visco-elastic and iper-elastic constitutive
laws. Technologies. Composite materials. Elastic-orthotropic
constitutive law. Classical lamination theory. Conventional polymer
matrix composites: continuous and discontinuous reinforcement,
matrices, foams and cores. Conventional technologies: vacuum
bagging, filament winding, pultrusion and thermoforming.
Conventional joining techniques:riveting, welding and
bonding. Production strategies. Non-destructive inspection
techniques. Maintenance and repairing techniques. Quality
assurance.

Other books recommended during the lectures
Teaching methods
During the lessons general problems concerning the aeronautical and aerospace design will be discussed. At the end of the course, a guided tour at some laboratories will be the occasion for the student to achieve a more practical view of the arguments discussed during the lessons.
Assessment methods
The assesment is done by an oral examination
Teaching tools
Overhead projector, PC, Laboratories
