Hands-On Composite Training Course June 6-9

April 18, 2017
Course covers advanced composite material manufacturing, adhesive bonding, damage surveys, non-destructive inspection techniques, repair techniques, and mechanical testing.
This introductory course is designed for a wide range of audiences including technicians, engineers, analysts, and inspectors to gain hands-on experience in advanced composite material manufacturing, adhesive bonding, damage surveys, non-destructive inspection techniques, repair techniques, and mechanical testing.

Objective of this course is to expose the attendees to various aspects of composite manufacturing, inspections, repair and testing. Course content includes fabrication of monolithic and sandwich panels, joining composites with adhesive bonding, inspection of composites with various non-destructive techniques, machining and hole drilling, repair of composite structures (monolithic and honeycomb), instrumentation of composite test articles, and various aspects of mechanical testing of composite structures. This course is designed as a supplemental course for composite theory classes, thus class time is maximized so that the attendees get hands-on experience.

DAY 1: FABRICATION OF MONOLITHIC AND SANDWICH PARTS
DAY 2: COMPOSITE DAMAGE INSPECTION & REPAIR
DAY 3: JOINING OF COMPOSITE STRUCTURES
DAY 4: MECHANICAL TESTING AND FAILURE ANALYSIS Cost: $2,000
(includes all laboratory materials and certificate completion)
