SAMPE Fall Tech Conference & Exhibits–Wichita, KS Tuesday, October 20 11:00 AM • Room 205 Featured Lecture - The Role of Education in Composites Engineering Lecturer: Beckry Abdel-Magid: Chair, Composite Materials Engineering, Winona State University In the early 1990s, leaders in the composite materials industry declared that the major problem with composite materials was neither technical nor economic, but rather educational, and called for shifting the emphasis in the academic community from focusing on research and development to educating and graduating large numbers of engineers with broad and in-depth knowledge in composite materials. A number of universities responded by developing strong programs in composites engineering both at the undergraduate and graduate levels. In the subsequent two decades, graduates of these programs were in the forefront of a second revolution not only in new applications in myriad products and industries, but also in the material and processing technologies of composite materials. This presentation will highlight the role of education in taking composite materials from artisan fabrication and laboratory research to advanced technology and applications ranging from aerospace, to consumer goods and nano-scale materials. A review of the current state of education in composites engineering in the United States and other industrial nations will also be presented. Technical Program Panelists: • John L.

Elwood - Division Chief, Materials & Manufacturing Directorate, WPAFB As the world has gotten flatter, the defense industry has gotten smaller. Globalization and decreased demand have impacted many industries that supply the Air Force and DoD. There is also increased competition for critical commodities – energy and specialty metals, for example. Internal to the Air Force the two communities, materials and processing and manufacturing technology, have shared a very productive relationship. The communities share the same customer base, and the breadth of products and disciplines are the same. We are different links in the same chain. In order for materials and processing to deliver to their potential, it is essential that manufacturing readiness be considered earlier than ever before in the development cycle. By partnering more effectively we can help ensure scale up and timely transition of new capabilities. 9:00 AM • Room 206 Panel: Commercializing Composites: The Outlook for HighVolume, Sustainable Material Applications Moderator: Sara Black - Technical Editor, Gardner Publications, CompositesWorld The focus of this panel will be successful real-world, non-aerospace applications of composite materials. While the composites industry has been challenged by the design and manufacturing demands of lucrative, high-volume markets, the barriers are starting to break down — particularly as alternative energy sources, infrastructure upgrades, and new industrial technologies begin to shape policy decisions. Panelists will address application areas including wind energy, offshore oil exploration and production, infrastructure, pressure vessels for fuel and compressed gas storage, automotive components and composite design. They will describe how composite materials, processing and design concepts are being used in specific market areas, in innovative ways — and how the material or process or design approach is helping to facilitate composites’ growth, in light of the current difficult economy.

AE testing can also be used to recognize the presence of pre-existing damage. It can be used to locate the sites where damage is developing early in the fatigue life of a structure; and near the end of the structure’s life, it can be used to give a direct warning of incipient failure. As a nondestructive testing method, AE works even better on composites than on metals, because composites are more generous in their emitting properties. Applications include fatigue testing of prototypes (to prevent premature failure), routine maintenance inspection (of bucket trucks, for example), and materials characterization. This presentation will discuss these capabilities, give examples to show what can be done with AE today, review the technical elements that must be in place for successful AE testing, and indicate directions for future growth. The horizons of material technology can indeed be expanded by the use of this method. 8:45 AM – 3:00 PM • Room 208 AFOSR Workshop: Multiscale Modeling for Polymer Matrix Composites Moderator: Charles Lee, Program Manager, AFOSR and Tia Benson-Tolle, Air Force Research Laboratory/Materials and Manufacturing Directorate This panel/workshop is focused on one of the many links in the multiscale modeling of Fiber Reinforced Composites, specifically between the molecular scale modeling and the micromechanics scale modeling. Efforts to directly link these two scales are needed to make a rudimentary prediction of composite structure behaviors based on the consituent’s properties. A direct linkage between these two scales will lead to better prediction of new resin chemistry on the performance of the composite structures. This linkage can also lead to prediction of cure cycle effects and chemical aging effects on the properties of the composite structures. Panel members are drawn from researchers who are in the micromechanics and molecular scale modeling areas that are offering potential possibilities for this linkage.
