| Contents | The physical principles of mechanical stresses and thermal radiation will be recalled. The main test methodologies and instruments for space qualification will be then introduced. The knowledge acquired will be applied in the design and development of experimental tests in the laboratory. |
| Reference texts | An introduction to Shock & Vibration spectra (Tom Irvine) - Shock & Vibration Handbook (Harris, Pearsol) Fundamentals of heat and mass transfer, Incropera, De Witt, Bergman, LavineAn introduction to Shock & Vibration spectra (Tom Irvine) - Shock & Vibration Handbook (Harris, Pearsol) Fundamentals of heat and mass transfer, Incropera, De Witt, Bergman, Lavine |
| Educational objectives | The aim of the course is to introduce the student to the environmental conditions to which materials and systems for aerospace applications are exposed. The purpose is to prepare the student to the qualification process needed to verify the suitability of materials and systems to operate in extreme environmental conditions. |
| Teaching methods | Lectures and practical experiments in the laboratory |
| Learning verification modality | Discussion of the report of the laboratory experimens. |
| Extended program | Fundamentals of free, damped and forced vibration of a mechanical system with 1 degree of freedom, with n degrees of freedom and Random Excitations. Fundamentals of Heat transmission - conduction (Fourier equation, contact thermal resistance) - radiation (emissive power, absorption, heat exchange between surfaces) - Overview on thermal and thermovacuum tests |
| Obiettivi Agenda 2030 per lo sviluppo sostenibile | The knowledge acquired will allow the student to be integrated into a rapidly developing sector such as aerospace. |
