Abstract

The webinars examine the history, present capabilities, and future of composites science and technology. The goal of the series is to accumulate the vast knowledge of composites that has been developed over the past 50 years and to make it available to the global composites community. Each webinar is a one-hour Zoom online meeting. It starts with a brief introduction to cdmHUB and the speaker, followed by a 40-45 minutes talk by a world class expert, ended by Q&As between the speaker and audiences.

  1. Adaptive Multi-Scale & Multi-Fidelity Progressive Failure Analysis of Composites

    14 Nov 2022 | Online Presentations | Contributor(s): Tong-Earn (TE) Tay

    Although high-fidelity modeling of progressive damage has advanced our understanding of failure mechanisms in fibre-reinforced composites, such techniques are currently still too computationally intensive for direct application to composite structures. The multi-scale nature of damage in...

  2. Master Laminates to Simplify Design, Manufacturing, and Testing of Composites

    12 Dec 2022 | Online Presentations | Contributor(s): Stephen W Tsai

    Composite materials and structures have traditionally been viewed as more complicated than metals. With master stiffness and failure envelopes composites are as simple as metals. Stiffness of laminates can be split into two part: one for trace that represents the total stiffness capacity; one for...

  3. Fiber Orientation Prediction for Discontinuous Fiber Composites: Fundamentals and Future Trends

    08 Feb 2023 | Online Presentations | Contributor(s): Charles Tucker

    When composite materials with discontinuous fibers are processed into their final shape, any flow alters the fiber orientation pattern and affects the properties of the final composite. It is now standard practice to predict fiber orientation patterns and the resulting mechanical properties in...

  4. Imparting Robustness to Out-of-Autoclave Prepregs

    09 Mar 2023 | Online Presentations | Contributor(s): STEVEN NUTT

    Autoclaves have long been used to ensure robustness in the production of composite parts. However, they present a production bottleneck, as well as high capital and recurring costs. Out-of-autoclave prepregs were introduced to allow oven curing and thereby address some of these issues. These OoA...

    06 Nov 2023 | Online Presentations | Contributor(s): Deborah Chung

    Structural self-sensing refers to a structural material sensing itself without sensor incorporation. Compared to sensor incorporation, advantages include low cost, high durability, large sensing volume and the mechanical properties being not degraded. The self-sensing ability makes the structural...
