SUMMARY:Composites Process Simulation: A Review of the State of the Art for Product Development
DESCRIPTION:A fundamental concept in materials science is that process history leads to microstructure evolution\, which in turn determines mechanical and functional properties. For composite components\, where the material is transformed at the same time as the component is created\, the local process history is a function of the whole processing system which includes material(s)\, part shape\, tooling\, and equipment. \nAs both structural size and production scale up\, controlling process history and hence microstructural and property evolution becomes progressively more difficult.  In an ideal situation\, every step of the process is well understood in terms of the underlying physics and can be simulated mathematically.  The quality and breadth of\, and confidence in these process simulations determines how they can be used. If low\, they can be used as job-aids which are validated experimentally. If high\, they might be used as part of the formal process validation and documentation. \nDeveloping this type of capability is the current rage across all manufacturing industries\, under the banner of Integrated Computational Materials Engineering (ICME)\, Industry 4.0\, and the like.  However\, composites manufacturing processes are very complex\, and there is a notable lack of data compared to other industrial sectors with much larger production volumes. \nAlthough adoption of these new technologies has been slower than elsewhere\, the last twenty years are showing accelerating adoption of process simulation in the aerospace composites sector. This webinar introduces process simulation\, with a high-level assessment of the state of the art\, and guidance on how it might be used as part of a product development approach. \nPresenter: \nDr. Anoush Poursartip\nDirector\, Composites Research Network\nProfessor\, Department of Materials Engineering\, UBC\nDirector of Research\, Convergent Manufacturing Technologies \nRegister here

SUMMARY:Resin Behaviour During Processing: What are the key resin properties to consider when developing a manufacturing process?
DESCRIPTION:During manufacturing the resin undergoes significant transformations: thermoset resins evolve from a low molecular weight liquid to a highly cross-linked solid. A thorough understanding of this liquid-to-solid transition is critical when developing\, optimizing or troubleshooting a manufacturing process. For example\, the impregnation and consolidation of the fiber bed must be completed before the resin transforms from a viscous liquid to a rubbery gel\, and demolding must happen when the resin reaches a glassy solid state. \nThis webinar will discuss the key manufacturing properties of thermoset resins such as viscosity\, gelation\, glass transition temperature\, and degree of cure. Short videos will be used to demonstrate the different techniques used today to characterize these manufacturing properties. The content of this webinar will be extracted live from the Knowledge in Practice Centre (KPC) – an open resource for composites manufacturing knowledge and best practices\, available online at https://compositeskn.org/knowledge-in-practice-centre/. \n  \nPresenter:\nDr. Christophe Mobuchon\nResearch Engineer\, Composites Research Network \nRegister here

SUMMARY:The Composites Knowledge in Practice Center - une ressource ouverte pour les connaissances et les meilleures pratiques en matière de fabrication de composites
DESCRIPTION:Les composites sont des matériaux incroyables quand tout va bien – ils permettent des produits innovants et autrement impossibles. Mais la fabrication est difficile et une aide est souvent nécessaire pour développer\, optimiser et dépanner les processus. Parfois\, l’aide nécessaire est une orientation directe sur les meilleures pratiques spécifiques pour traiter un problème immédiat\, et parfois il est temps d’élargir les connaissances dans un sens plus large. Rejoignez-nous pour une visite guidée et une démonstration du Knowledge in Practice Center (KPC)\, où la pratique de fabrication des composites est présentée de manière facile à naviguer\, liée à une base scientifique et technique structurée. Découvrez comment vous pouvez facilement passer des études de cas aux conseils pratiques en passant par les connaissances de base et au niveau des systèmes. Construit sur la même plate-forme que Wikipédia\, le KPC utilise une représentation d’usine du matériau\, de la forme\, de l’outillage et de l’équipement pour expliquer le fonctionnement des processus composites et comment la qualité de fabrication\, le taux et le coût des compromis dans la pratique. \nLes participants au webinaire auront accès à cette première version du KPC\, qui se veut une ressource ouverte à la communauté des composites. Nous accueillons à la fois les utilisateurs de connaissances et les fournisseurs de connaissances – nous partagerons notre vision de la façon dont le KPC peut aider à démystifier et démocratiser les pratiques et les connaissances de fabrication des composites. \nPrésentateur:  \nDr. Anoush Poursartip\nProfessor\, Department of Materials Engineering\, University of British Columbia\nDirector\, Composites Knowledge Network\nDirector\, Composites Research Network

SUMMARY:The Composites Knowledge in Practice Centre – an open resource for composites manufacturing knowledge and best practices
DESCRIPTION:Composites are incredible materials when things go right – they enable innovative and otherwise impossible products. But manufacturing is difficult\, and help is often needed to develop\, optimize and troubleshoot processes.  Sometimes the help needed is direct guidance on specific best practices to deal with an immediate issue\, and sometimes there is time to expand knowledge in a broader sense.  Join us in a guided tour and demonstration of the Knowledge in Practice Centre (KPC)\, where composites manufacturing practice is presented in an easy-to-navigate manner\, tied to a structured science and engineering base.  See how you can easily navigate from case studies to practical advice to systems-level and foundational knowledge.  Built off the same platform as Wikipedia\, the KPC uses a factory representation of material\, shape\, tooling\, and equipment to explain how composites processes work and how manufacturing quality\, rate\, and cost trade off in practice. \nWebinar attendees will gain access to this first release of the KPC\, which is intended to be a resource open to the composites community.  We welcome both knowledge users as well as knowledge providers – we will share our vision of how the KPC can help demystify and democratize composites manufacturing practice and knowledge. \nTo view the webinar\, click here. \nPresenter:   \nDr. Anoush Poursartip\nProfessor\, Department of Materials Engineering\, University of British Columbia\nDirector\, Composites Knowledge Network\nDirector\, Composites Research Network

SUMMARY:Deconstructing composites processing: Why it seems so complex and how to think about it in a structured way
DESCRIPTION:Composite materials come in many different forms\, shapes\, and sizes. While this allows for flexibility in tailoring the design\, it also results in many different possibilities for manufacturing\, which can seem complicated and daunting. However\, despite there being numerous choices for manufacturers\, the complexities often associated with composite material processing can be deconvoluted and approached in a structured way. \nIn this webinar\, we will lay out a structured approach to composite material manufacturing; from thinking about how material flows through a factory to breaking out process steps into their material\, shape\, tooling\, and equipment parameters. This method of thinking is central to the framework for the Knowledge in Practice Centre (KPC) – one of the core pillars of CKN. \nTo watch the webinar\, click here

SUMMARY:Parameters for Structural Analysis of Composites
DESCRIPTION:Structural analysis of composites requires material properties such as elastic and strength values. Physical testing\, handbook/database values\, micromechanics\, and classical lamination theory are all sources of these properties; but when are they valid and what are their advantages\, disadvantages\, hidden challenges and quirks? When you need nine unique values just to define the elastic response of a composite in three dimensions – not to mention failure parameters – the feat of acquiring these values can considerably affect your schedule\, cost\, and stress levels (pun intended). \nIn this virtual application + impact mobilization (AIM) event\, we provide an overview of these sources of material properties and provide a comparison between them so that you can decide what is most appropriate for your project and how to begin. \nTo watch the webinar\, click here

SUMMARY:Costing Composite Parts
DESCRIPTION:Accurately estimating the cost of manufacturing a composite part is essential to the success of small\, medium and large businesses alike; but where should you begin? Many factors such as material and consumable prices\, labour cost\, purchase and maintenance of equipment and tooling\, energy cost\, development cost\, overhead cost as well as production run numbers and rates can affect the total cost of a part. Many of these factors also involve a certain amount of uncertainty. \nIn this virtual application + impact mobilization (AIM) event we outline the key aspects of costing composite parts and draw your attention to aspects of costing that perhaps you haven’t considered before. \nTo watch the webinar\, click here

SUMMARY:Composite Materials Engineering 12-Part Webinar Series
DESCRIPTION:In a time of uncertainty for the Canadian Composites Manufacturing industry\, one thing is certain: knowledgeable and experienced engineers will be needed to facilitate regrowth of the industry. To support this\, the CKN\, in partnership with SAMPE Canada\, is hosting a 12-part webinar series on composite materials engineering. \nThis series is intended for junior to senior engineers that are looking to obtain a solid background in the fundamentals of composites to help make both engineering and business decisions. After completing this series\, participants will have the skills to identity suitable applications for composites\, select materials and processes\, estimate composite mechanical properties\, and identify appropriate testing procedures. \nThe topics will cover a wide range of aspects of polymer matrix composites from both a processing and analysis perspective. It will start with a general introduction to composite materials\, then discussion of constituent materials like fiber and resin\, before going into thermal management of manufacturing processes (curing a resin). With that knowledge established\, various processing methods will be discussed\, with a deeper look into prepreg processing and liquid composite moulding (ie. vacuum infusion\, resin transfer moulding\, etc.). After that\, the focus will be on the mechanics of composites. What is happening on the lamina and laminate levels\, and eventually failure of composites will be covered. The last two sessions will tie the processing sessions and mechanics sessions together with a discussion of testing. \nInstructor: Casey Keulen\, PhD\, PEng\, Instructor of Materials Engineering at the University of British Columbia \nHosted in partnership with SAMPE Canada \n\n\n\n\nYou can view sessions 1-12 here
