ASME Short Course: Design, Analysis, and Fabrication of Composite Structure, Energy, and Machine Applications (Virtual Classroom)

Composites, which include polymer matrix-, metal matrix-, ceramic matrix- and carbon matrix-materials are revolutionizing every aspect of aerospace/defense and industrial applications.  The latter have become the largest user.  There are vast and an increasing number of applications, including: aircraft, spacecraft, wind turbines; oil and natural gas exploration and production; natural gas and hydrogen vehicle storage tanks; high-speed and precision machinery; robots; optomechanical systems; semiconductor manufacturing equipment; automobile and truck parts; gas turbine engines; process industries equipment; heat exchangers;  medical diagnostic equipment; prosthetics; and electronic and optoelectronic thermal management.
This course provides an in-depth presentation of design, analysis and manufacturing methods for composites.  The course emphasizes polymer matrix composites, but ceramic matrix-, metal matrix- and carbon matrix-materials are covered.
