  About the conference

Recently, weight reductions in many industrial sectors as transportation have been paid much attention from the environmentally-friendly point of view. Application of polymer-matrix composites as structural parts is expected to be one of the key-technologies. However, there are many technical issues which have to be solved for their implementation. If many of them are linked to the choice and the manufacturing of the materials themselves, a more accurate problem is linked to their use as parts of assemblies. A single type material for a given structure is rarely realistic according to the principal stress and the different function of the structure. Moreover in parallel to the demand of a wider application of composites, arises sooner or later the question of their assembly with other materials.

This challenge will be discussed during this Euro-Japanese Symposium

   The symposium will be single session type over two days including
4 keynote lectures and about 30 oral presentations

The following topics will be treated 

•  Adhesive bonding of metals and composites
•  Adhesive bonding of polymers and composites
•  Riveting, screwing, bolting of composites with polymers or metals
•  Hybrid bonding including composites
•  Welding of polymers, composites and metals
•  Overmolding of polymers on composites or metal structures 

For each topic the following sub-topics will be analyzed 

•  Non destructive inspection techniques for assemblies including composites
•  Structural Health Monitoring (SHM)
•  Experimental Methods
•  Experimental analysis of bonded joints at a laboratory scale
•  Advanced Numerical Techniques
•  Modelling and Characterization
•  Multi-scale analysis and modelling of bonded joints
•  Finite element for numerical analysis of interface in assemblies
•  Conception and design of composite structures including assemblies
•  From micromechanics scale approach to design control
•  Optimization techniques and methods with material uncertainties
•  Probabilistic modelling and reliability of assembly zones
•  Failure criteria for adhesive joints and hybrid assemblies
•  Design and application of composite structures
•  Durability, long term behaviour, fatigue
•  Damage mechanisms, delamination and fracture in assemblies
•  Damage tolerance concept and analysis

 
The deadline for submissions is August 31th, 2013

We are looking forward to seeing you in Nantes...
