Advanced Design with Composite Materials

The intensive course on Advanced Design with Composite Materials is specifically designed for engineers, technicians, and designers working in the composites industry who wish to acquire a deeper understanding of the structural design of polymer matrix composites parts. The course aims to address the main issues associated with the design of polymer matrix composite materials.

The first day will be dedicated to basic aspects, followed by advanced methods related to topics such as static design (strength and stiffness), fatigue design, bonded joints, design of 3D-printed parts, design of short fibre reinforced parts, structural health monitoring. A laboratory session is also planned to illustrate experimental techniques for determining material properties that are essential for a reliable design. The entire course will consistently refer to pragmatic and implementation aspects related to the industrial reality.
