Summer School on Fatigue and Damage Mechanics of Composite Materials

Dear Colleagues,

we are glad to present the Summer School on Fatigue and Damage Mechanics of Composite Materials (13 . 17 July 2015) and the Short Course on Experimental Techniques and Testing of Composite Materials (9 . 10 July 2015) organized by and to be held at The Department of Management and Engineering  - University of Padova in Vicenza - Italy.

The School aims at providing young scientists and engineers both from Academia and Industry with the unique opportunity to meet and learn from leading international experts advances in the fatigue and damage mechanics of composite materials, comprising theoretical bases, experimental methods and examples of practical industrial applications. Particular attention will be devoted to the understanding of damage mechanisms and the paths to incorporate them into predictive models. During the five‐day program, senior researchers and industry representatives will provide lectures on experimental techniques for damage investigations of polymer composites, damage evolution under fatigue, analytical and numerical modeling of damage and examples of design against damage in advanced industrial applications.

Please find attached the flyer of the event.
