Composite Materials Failure, Analysis and RepairA Two Day Technical SeminarFor registration information, please click on the link below:
February 24 & 25, 2009 - Anaheim, CA
 About the seminar:This two day seminar was developed to educate engineers and other technical personnel in the advanced composites topics associated with composite materials design, failure analysis and repair technologies. Background theory and design / failure / analysis scenarios are supported through examples, case studies and practical do’s and don’ts associated with real world composites applications. Micromechanics, laminated plate theory (LPT), strength prediction and failure theories, finite element analysis (FEA) approaches, joint design methodology, tooling and dimensional control interactions, damage and repair methodology and numerous references are the focal points of this workshop. Who should attend:This seminar is beneficial for aerospace, military, commercial, materials, energy, transportation and other industrial engineers who are involved in advanced composites design, analysis and repair activities as well as those involved in any materials selection and characterization, composites manufacturing, product optimization, and testing and inspection certification (NDT, NDI, QA). Although an advanced engineering background is not required, a general understanding of composite materials would be helpful. The instructor has educated over 2,000 engineers in these technology areas.  Benefits of attending:

About the instructor:
Dr. Scott Beckwith, president of BTG Composites Inc., an international advanced composites and fiber reinforced plastics consultancy, is also a renowned materials industry association technical director. Dr. Beckwith teaches a number of composites and plastics technology workshops, tutorials and classes each year with respect to composite materials, fabrication technologies and support areas pertaining to both advanced high tech composites and traditional FRP composites (pipe, tanks, storage vessels, etc.) With over 38 years in the composites design, manufacturing and testing areas as an engineer, he has taught over 2000 attendees at his composites technology events and was one of the original organizers for a long running annual Filament Winding Workshop held since 1991 in Salt Lake City. A graduate of Texas A&M University (BS, 1964 and PhD, 1974) and the California Institute of Technology (MS, 1965), he has an extensive background in the design, manufacturing and testing of composite materials and structures. He has worked on failure investigations or has consulted for parties working on NASA's Space Shuttle Challenger, NASA's X-33 Cryogenic Tanks, and the American Airlines A300 Flight 587 crash. A SAMPE Fellow (2003), he has received numerous awards from SME and SACMA in the materials and manufacturing areas, has over 250 technical publications, and serves as an Expert Witness in composites related litigation. He also currently writes on composites technology, markets and applications for a number of magazines.For registration information, please click on the link below:
