JEC COMPOSITES MAGAZINE - Issue #50 - July/August 2009 - 17

in partnership with JEC Composites E-letter composites is massive processors (compounds, prepregs, core materials, fabrics, hand processes, SMC, GMT, BMC, injection, RTM, RIM, pultrusion, lamination, centrifugation, filament winding, etc.), equipment and software manufacturers, distributors, research centres and institutes. It connects all these key actors to end-users from Aeronautics, Automotive, Marine, Construction, Land Transportation, Wind Energy, Consumer goods, EEE, Sports & Leisure … aerospace and MRO, road transport and the new generation of rolling stock, and construction (pipes, Exhibitors from 26 countries tanks and domes made of composites). 2010 January SAMPE Asia January 19-20 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia www.sampe.org BOOK Course on Emerging Techniques for Damage Prediction and Failure Analysis of Laminated Composite Structures Edited by Didier GuédraDegeorges, EADS-Innovation Works and Pierre Ladevèze, LMT-Cachan, EADS Foundation Chair. The field of laminated composite materials is both old and new. It is old in the sense that it was in the early 1960s that scientists and engineers started to study seriously and apply the vast potential of fabricated fibrous composite materials. It is new in the sense that today the development of new materials and processes as well as new applications is accelerating, especially in that aeronautical and space industries; this is the consequence of considerable research and technological progress. The course deals with the crucial central question: how can one predict the evolution of damage up to and including final fracture? Emerging yet mature answers will be presented. First, a description of today’s common approaches in industrial environments will be given, along with their limits regarding the design and calculation of stratified composite structures. More generally, the course stems from the current understanding of the mechanisms of damage and their evolution on the micro, meso and macro scales, in particular due to the research at LMT-Cachan and the accrued experience in identification, numerical analysis and dimensioning at EADSInnovation Works. The course also emphasizes the damage mesomodel initiated at LMT-Cachan and used today in a number of calculation codes. This advanced yet pragmatic tool for the prediction of damage in stratified materials has become mature thanks particularly to the works of LMT-Cachan on its relation to micromechanics, EADS-Innovation Works on its identification, and DLR on its application to impact and crash problems.

In 2008, the event welcomed 8,325 visitors, including 873 delegates who attended the 68 conferences. The Asian professionals accounted for 82.3% of the visitors. 58 countries were represented during the 3-day event. Visitors dedicated more than 1 day and a half to the visit of the show and the different associated programmes, with a high level of satisfaction, which can be explained by a strong technical content of the event.
