Aanbieding 1 met studiegidsnummer 4016299FNR voor alle studenten in het 2e semester met een gespecialiseerd master niveau.
This course – based on research expertise – is mainly intended for master students in aeronautical engineering. The aim of this course is to provide theoretical knowledge as well as practical know-how in the field of damage testing, prevention and detection in aeronautics. The use of innovative materials such as composites (Glare, CFRP, GFRP, …) demands new testing and inspection techniques. Besides non-destructive testing, several experimental test procedures (flight test instrumentation, qualification testing, ground vibration testing, flight flutter testing) will be discussed. At the end of this course the student should be able to master the theory and to perform by himself/herself non-destructive inspections on airplane components (of moderate complexity). These skills will be trained during the practical classes. A visit to the NDT facilities of the Belgian Air force in Peutie is foreseen.
For additional information, the slides, scientific papers, and course notes can be accessed via Canvas.
At the end of this course, the student should be able to master the theory and to perform by himself/herself non-destructive inspections on airplane components (of moderate complexity). He/she should be able to interpret and properly analyse the test results; he/she should be able to communicate the conclusions in a precise and comprehensive way.
Can work in an industrial environment with attention to safety, quality assurance, communication and reporting.
Can develop, plan, execute and manage engineering projects at the level of a starting professional.
Can think critically about and evaluate projects, systems and processes, particularly when based on incomplete, contradictory and/or redundant information.
Having a creative, problem-solving, result-driven and evidence-based attitude, aiming at innovation and applicability in industry.
Having a critical attitude towards one's own results and those of others.
Having consciousness of the ethical, social, environmental and economic context of his/her work and strives for sustainable solutions to engineering problems including safety and quality.
Having the flexibility and adaptability to work in an international and/or intercultural context.
Having an attitude of life-long learning as needed for the future development of his/her career.
Having in-depth knowledge and understanding of exact sciences with the specificity of their application to engineering.
Having in-depth knowledge and understanding of the advanced methods and theories to schematize and model complex problems or processes.
Having a broad scientific knowledge, understanding and skills to be able to design, produce and maintain complex mechanical, electrical and/or energy systems with a focus on products, systems and services. E.g. codepo project, courses around renewable, sustainable mobility, ...
Having an in-depth understanding of safety standards and rules with respect to mechanical, electrical and energy systems.
Can reformulate complex engineering problems in order to solve them (simplifying assumptions, reducing complexity).
