Speech Title: Advanced lightweight textile performs & composite materials Abstract: In recent years, textile composite in particular three dimentional composites have been developed for various advanced aerospace applications because of their light weight, high specific strength and stiffness. Textile composites are fabricated of dry textile preforms with different configurations, e.g. two or three dimensional woven, braiding, knitting, and stitching. These preforms are placed in a mold and then impregnated by resin using resin transfer molding or vacuum assisted resin transfer molding techniques. This talk aims to present about textile performs and composites. The talk has been organized to provide an opportunity for scientists and researchers from academia working in the area of composite materials and engineers and designers from industry to increase their knowledge and learn about new and innovation technologies in textile performs and composites. The content of the speech include: manufacturing processes, state-of-art research & technology on textile performs and composite, mechanical properties of textile performs & composite & their performance assessment, modeling, structural integrity assessment, damage growth, non-destructive testing of reinforced composites, fatigue and failure assessment, examination of the suitability of 3D textile reinforcement towards the production of complex shaped preform and composite for other applications such as automotive & marine and more. |
