Rules for evaluation and completion of the course
The course credit requirements are compulsory attendance at seminars and laboratory exercises. It is also necessary to submit complete and correct required seminar reports and assessment of both written seminar tests for at least 50% of total points. Obtaining the credit from seminars is a condition for admission to the final exam. The exam is in written form.
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.
Aims
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.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.
