5.0.1 Introduction to Selection of Materials and Structures

Course subject(s) Module 5. Selection of Materials and Structures

Module 5 has arrived, we are officially past the half way mark – also known in aviation as the point of no return! Glad to see you are still with us. In this module we will be discussing the structural performance in terms of material and geometry aspects and how to make initial material selections. We also go into depth on how to size a spacecraft based on natural frequencies as well as quasi-static loading.

Verified Certificate only

You can really feel like a rocket scientist in this module, as you will get to try to size a spacecraft yourself as part of your assignment for this module! Have fun!
