AERO-UA workshop on “Composites in Action"
24.11.2018
AERO-UA consortium partner the University of Manchester hosted a one-week workshop dedicated to “Composites in Action” within the framework of the AERO-UA pilot projects in aerostructures.
The composites workshop was held within the University of Manchester’s Aerospace Research Institute, which has over 100 academics researching key areas in the aerospace sector from advanced materials and structures to synthetic environments and autonomous systems.
Expertly organised by Dr. Mazher Ahmed (The University of Manchester), the composites workshop attracted over 15 aviation experts from the Ukrainian and European consortium partners. It comprised of a stimulating mix of classroom lectures given by the institute’s researchers as well as tours of the laboratories and testing facilities within the Aerospace Research Institute and Northwest Composites Centre at the University of Manchester.
In particular, the composites workshop facilitated knowledge exchange on the latest developments in:

In particular, the composites workshop facilitated knowledge exchange on the latest developments in:
- Advances in composites for aerospace applications
- Finite element modelling and manufacturing of aerospace blades
- 3D woven reinforcements and composites for aerospace applications
- Joining of composite structures
- Syntactic foams
- Structural heal monitoring and non-destructive testing
- Manufacturing advanced composites
- Modelling of advanced composite structures
