Airspace Materials and Technologies. From theory to practice

The creation of new materials with the required properties ensures progress in aircraft construction, shipbuilding, automotive, nuclear industry, electrical engineering and other (in almost all) industries.

To create a new material is half the battle. The task of making a detail out of it is even more difficult. How to make a part? What kind of equipment should be used? Technology science answers these questions. Mechanical engineering technology is a whole complex of metalworking processes – machining, stamping, assembly, welding, casting and others.

To become a good technologist, you need to know the features of all these processes. Without this knowledge, everything that the designers will do will remain on paper. Within the framework of the international school, students will gain knowledge in many technologies used in the aerospace industry of Russia - such as pulsed magnetic field processing, hybrid, incremental, additive and other technological processes.

The goal of the international school "Airspace Materials and Technologies" is to share with you the developments of Samara University scientists in this field. The school program includes lectures, workshops, excursions. Using the acquired knowledge, students perform graduation work. In addition to studying technical material, the school's program includes a cultural part: acquaintance with Russian culture, customs, architecture.

 

 
Format of international on-campus school includes:

- Individual/group guidance from professor.
- Interactive classes.
 - Excursions.
 - Support 24/7.
 - Transcript of records with a maximum of 2 ECTS (European study credits).
 - Additional program (visit to Moscow and Saint Petersburg).

Syllabus

Further exploration of outer space requires the creation of products for their long-term use in space. This is the time of interplanetary flights, the operation of the space station in near-Earth orbits, the industrial development of the Moon and other planets. Knowledge of these changes is necessary for a technically competent calculation of the strength of the final products. The lecture will cover methods, equipment and test results.

Speakers
Sergey Konolalov
Professor, Head of Department of Metal Technology and Aviation Materials Science

In aerospace engineering the active introduction of composite materials is closely related to the growing demand for structural materials with high values of specific strength and specific stiffness. Lecture covers advanced composite materials with unique physical and mechanical characteristics (layered composite materials with a metallic and non-metallic matrix, powder, discrete-reinforced composites).

Speakers
Svetlana Pavlova
Phd in Engineering, engineer of the Scientific and Educational center of Aviation Construction (AVICON)

The lecture discusses metallurgical technologies for obtaining semi-finished products (sheets, profiles, pipes) used for the production of parts and assemblies of machine-building products: from aerospace equipment to consumer goods, for example, canned goods. The presented material includes the production experience and achievements of the University and the Samara Metallurgical Combine.

Speakers
Yaroslav Erisov
Professor of Metal Forming Department

Can a tool stamp work without equipment? Maybe! If its design includes a power drive made of a material with a shape memory effect. When heating, for example, a wire made of titanium nickelide alloy NiTi to only 1000C, it remembers its former shape and returning to it, develops efforts sufficient to carry out a technological operation. The designs of power drives based on the use of this, which have no analogues in the world, have been created.

Speakers
Fedor Grechnikov
Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Doctor of Technical Sciences, Professor, Head of the Department of Metal Processing by Pressure

All magnetic pulse technologies are united by one source of influence - pulsed magnetic field (PMF). With the help of PMF, a whole range of technological processes of stamping, assembly, welding, hardening, casting and others are implemented. At the same time, high quality of finished products is achieved with minimal energy, material and labor costs.

Speakers
Vladimir Glushenkov
Professor, Head of laboratory of magnetic pulse power

A special "skinning" technology is used for manufacturing of shell parts of various shapes and sizes. In the designs of aerospace products, shipbuilding products, chemical engineering, thin-walled shells with different curvature are used. The technological scheme for obtaining shells, for example, of double curvature, is a tight fitting of a sheet blank on a tight punch.

Speakers
Vladimir Mikheev
Professor, Doctor of Science, Department of Metal Forming

It is possible not to deform the workpiece simultaneously over the entire surface at once, but to deform it sequentially from point to point. Such technologies existed earlier as "pressurerolling works". Participants will get acquainted with this method at a lecture, see how a robot receives a part in laboratory work. They are given the opportunity to develop a punch movement program themselves, according to which a given detail is obtained.

Speakers
Yaroslav Erisov
Professor of Metal Forming Department

There are new technologies for applying special coatings invented to increase the reliability and durability of products made of metal, composite and polymer materials, as well as to form new operational properties (reflection of electromagnetic waves, increased electrical conductivity, resistance to ultraviolet radiation, and many others).

Speakers
Valeriy Bogdanovich
Professor

An overview of a wide range of additive manufacturing technologies and their business implications. This subject examines both the basic principles and theory of additive manufacturing (AM) in modern manufacturing techniques for innovation products. The content of the subject is as follows: design for functionality, design parts to be multifunctional, lightweight, topological optimization and lattice structures, design for easy fabrication.

Speakers
Victoria Kokareva
Senior lecturer of Department of Engine Production Technology, engineer at Institute of Innovative Technologies Manufacturing

The course is devoted to cutting technology in production processes. It addresses the questions of cutting of difficult-to-machine materials and problems with their machining. Cutting tools and machines are also discussed.

Speakers
Aleksey Zhidyaev
Senior lecturer of Department of engine production technology

WELCOME TO THE PAST!
Someone told that museums are the unique places which could help you travel not just around the territories but through the years! Team of International Schools included museums with different exhibitions in the program of international schools. Participants visited Museum of aviation and cosmonautics, Aircraft Engines History Center, Smart House of butterflies, Samara Railway Station Museum, University's Studying Airfield and the Ethnographic museum of Russian life.
