This symposium has the objective to present the state-of-art on the use and development of composites. It will be a forum for scientists and engineers that work with the development, characterization and use of composite materials. The symposium aims to incentive discussions and interaction between researches from different R&D institutions, as well as from the several industrial fields involved with composites. The symposium aims yet to discuss the new trends of applications and development of composites.
The scientific program will include plenary conferences, oral presentations and a poster section.
The symposium will include the following topics:
Physical and Mechanical properties of composites;
Multifunctional composites;
Natural fiber reinforced composites;
Repair techniques;
Polymer matrix composites;
Metal matrix composites;
Ceramic matrix composites;
Characterization techniques;
Structural analysis;
Damage tolerance;
Low and high energy impact;
Laminates and sandwich structures;
Experimental techniques;
Non conventional materials;
Concrete structures;
Fabrication techniques;
Applications.
Key-word: composites.
