Composite Materials and Structures - Design, Inspection and Assessment

Venue: ITRC Seminar Room C08, University Park Campus, Building 38, University of Nottingham, UK

Date: Wednesday 19 October 2005

Time: 10:00 to 16:00h

The MMS Seminar entitled Composite Materials and Structures - Design, Inspection and Assessment will take place on Wednesday 19th October at the University of Nottingham. The Seminar will be of interest to industrialists and others involved in using composite materials in industry.

Purpose of the Event

While the advantages of composite materials are generally appreciated, they are more complex than conventional engineering materials, and generally regarded a more difficult to design with and to inspect. Where manufacturing or service induced flaws can be detected, their significance in terms of performance reduction may also be difficult to assess. All these factors have to a degree inhibited the use of these materials by industry.

This seminar presents the main findings from four DTI funded programmes that have been set up to address these issues including MMS5, MMS13 and MMS15. Significant progress has been made in all four subject areas. Overviews will be given by the four project leaders (from QinetiQ, AEA Technology and NPL) with supporting contributions from industry.
