This webinar describes filament winding processes and technologies to produce fiber-reinforced polymer composites. Historically, filament winding is known as a composite fabrication process by which resin-wet fibers are deposited on a rotating mandrel following specific geometric paths creating structures of revolution. The webinar first explores the basics of the filament winding process, with focus on ... Read more

The majority of parts composed of composite materials are joined with other parts before becoming the final product. In addition to adhesive bonding, bolted joints are a common method of joining composites. They can be strong, and reliable, while allowing for disassembly if required. This AIM Event webinar will provide an introduction to bolted joints ... Read more

Sandwich structures (aka sandwich panels) find themselves in a wide variety of applications. Their notable qualities include high specific strength, stiffness, and energy absorption. Like any structure, sandwich panels may require repair when damaged. This webinar will cover various types of damage and the damage assessment process. It will explore how decisions to repair, replace, ... Read more
