IIT Mandi holding workshop on composites in aerospace
December 17, 2019 - India
Indian Institute of Technology Mandi is organising a National Workshop on ‘Advanced Composites for Aerospace: Design, Manufacturing and Condition Monitoring Perspective’ from February 11 to 15, 2020. Eminent scientists from Aeronautics Research and Development Board (the aerospace research wing of DRDO) are expected to attend the workshop.
The workshop will help participants to understand and implement state-of-the-art concepts of design, manufacturing and conditioning monitoring pertaining to advanced composite for aerospace applications.
Designed especially for engineers and researchers, the objective of this workshop is to introduce state-of-the-art concepts of design, manufacturing and conditioning monitoring pertaining to advanced composite for aerospace application. The Institute is expecting to host eminent scientists from Aeronautics Research and Development Board (the aerospace research wing of Defence Research and Development Organisation) who will provide the exposure to cutting edge research perspectives on composites in the aerospace industry.
Dr. Subhamoy Sen, workshop coordinator and assistant professor, School of Engineering, IIT Mandi, said, “To materialise the aspiration of making India a global manufacturing hub, the in-house development of state-of-the-art design and manufacturing concepts for all spheres of industry is being encouraged. The civil, defence and commercial aerospace industries are also pushing their limits to compete with the world leaders in this domain. Over the last decade, composite materials have found large scale applications in aerospace industries. With the advent of cheap sensor technologies and powerful computational facilities, condition monitoring has come up as another avenue to ensure safety and serviceability of composite materials in use in the aircrafts”.
