Safat College of Science & Technology

This course introduces second-year Aeronautical Engineering students to the fundamental physical and mechanical properties of materials used in aviation. It emphasizes material selection based on performance, durability, cost, and weight while considering environmental factors like heat and pressure. Key topics include stress-strain relationships, thermal and physical properties, composite materials, and material testing methods. The course combines theoretical lectures, practical lab sessions, and case studies to provide students with the skills to analyze material behavior and select appropriate materials for aerospace applications. Assessment includes written exams, lab reports, and a short research project.
