Educational Courses
Titanium and Its Alloys
Instructors: |
Rodney Boyer, FASM Technical Fellow The Boeing Company Principal Materials Engineer Orbital Sciences Corp. |
Overview:
Titanium and its alloys, a versatile family of metals with applications in many industries, have high strength-to-weight ratios, excellent corrosion resistance, and superior biocompatibility. This unique combination of physical, mechanical, and chemical properties make them attractive for aerospace, marine, industrial, and biomedical applications. This course provides an overview of this rapidly growing industry.
Design of Aircraft Structures (In partnership with AIAA)
Instructor: |
Dr. Michael Mohaghegh Technical Fellow in Advanced Structures and Materials Boeing Commercial Aircraft Company |
Overview:
This course examines the latest concepts and lessons learned in design of aircraft metal and composite structures, including evolution of design criteria, structural design concepts, evolution of advanced materials, static strength, buckling, durability and damage tolerance, practical design considerations, validation, and certification. Design and analysis exercises are included to involve students in the learning process.
Meeting the Challenges to the Materials Industries Posed by Materials Supply, Energy, Environmental Constraints, Global Competition, and New Technologies
Instructor: |
Carl Frahme, PhD Frahme Consulting Services Inc. Grass Valley, CA |
Overview:
The worldwide materials industries- the metals, ceramics, glass, cement, polymer, and composites industries- face unprecedented challenges which must be met. These include tightening raw material and energy supplies, with the resulting cost increases. Environmental constraints, not the least of which is the topic of global climate change, offer serious challenges by themselves and compound all of the other challenges. All of these industries face growing global competition and the impact of new technologies. All of these are challenges and thus threats, but they also offer substantial opportunities for growth and profits.
