AERO-UA pilot projects meeting hosted by the University of Manchester

10 July 2017

A two-day joint working meeting on composites-related pilot projects took place at the University of Manchester during 3-4 July 2017. The meeting presented an opportunity for AERO-UA partners to discuss advanced design, manufacture and maintenance of aeronautic composite structures.

In particular, the AERO-UA partners exchanged ideas and experiences concerning:

- The development and finite element modelling of multifunctional composites based on complex 3D architectures;
- The application of structural health monitoring approaches for aeronautic composite structures; and
- The experimental investigation of metal-to-composite hybrid joints as an alternative to conventional mechanical fasteners use for heavy loaded structures.

The fruitful discussions and technical visits to the University of Manchester’s i-Composites Lab and fibre weaving facilities were complemented by an inspiring visit to the Manchester Museum of Science and Industry.
