Crash Course Composites - why and how to design with composites

In order to introduce laypeople and newcomers into the world of composites, Sirris is organising a basic course covering all aspects of composites.

The course provides an insight into the way that added value can be given to applications by using composite materials. It goes into the advantages offered by composites without ignoring the disadvantages. Various aspects of design, production, use and maintenance will be discussed.
