Mechanics of Composites
Description
At this symposium, professors from the faculties of Mechanical Engineering of the three Dutch Universities of Technology, will give presentations on recent developments in their departments in the field of mechanics of composites. This involves modelling, simulation, design and of carrying out associated experimental research. Much of this research is carried out as indirect and direct support to industrial needs.
Two experts from industry will give a presentation.
12.00 - 13:30 Walk-in programme with "mini-exhibition" Composite Engineering in the broadest sense: design, calculation, production engineering, measurements and controls.
