Deadline is approaction: 10 april - "Risø Int. Symposium: Composite materials for structural performance: towards higher limits"

The deadline for abstract submission for the 32, 10th April 2011, is approaching. The title of the 32nd Risø International Symposium on Materials Science is "Composite materials for structural performance: towards higher limits". The Symposium will be held from Monday 5th September to Friday 9th September 2011 at Risoe DTU - National Laboratory for Sustainable Energy, Technical University of Denmark, 4000 Roskilde, Denmark. We think this is an exciting Symposium theme and we are proud to present a great list of key-note presentations:

“Cellulose fibres and their potential for reinforcement in composites”

Paul Hogg (The University of Manchester, UK)
“New concepts for developing damage tolerant composites”

Torben K. Jakobsen (LM Wind Power A/S, DK)
“Material Technology for large wind turbine rotor blades - limits and challenges”

Javier LLorca (Polytechnic University of Madrid & IMDEA Materials Institute, SP)
"Advances and limitations in computational simulations of composites"

Erik Lund (Aalborg University, DK)
“Numerical simulations of large scale wind turbine blades - limitations and challenges”

Puneeth Mahajan (Indian Institute of Technology, IN)
