Summer school on composite materials

Composite materials are nowadays extensively used in applications where outstanding mechanical properties are necessary in combination with weight savings.Their increased use has presented new challenges to engineers, largely due to the highly complex failure mechanisms of composite materials but also due to the many uncertainties that can exist in their manufacturing process. This summer school aims providing young engineers and researchers a rapid knowledge of the state-of-the art in the field (nature and structure, processing, properties and applications in different sectors) via a hands-on training experience.


TRAINERS:

Renowned experts in the field of composite research, producers of advanced composites and developers of testing equipment from IMDEA Materials InstituteHEXCEL Composites and Airbus. Speakers from other industries will also participate (see the program below).

This event is organized as part of the DYNACOMP (Dynamic behaviour of composite materials for next generation aeroengines) training network, funded by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie actions under grant agreement nº 722096.
