Edito

Composite materials have rapidly become a mainstream technology and material of choice within many industries, from aerospace to wind energy. And today, environmental regulations act as a new innovative driver for

a paradigm shift in the composite market.

Replacing metals by composites is fundamentally environmentally responsible. In land transportation lightweight composite structures have a big role to play in reducing both the use of petrochemicals and CO2 emissions.

Demand for more composite applications keeps on increasing. Add to this the fact that low-weight carbon fi bre structures reach the ends of their service lives, and it then becomes obvious that Recycling and Life Cycle Management is now a key eco challenge. This is why JEC launches in 2010 its fi rst observance forum on this subject.

Bio-based fi bres and resins derived from natural, renewable sources have also increasingly received signifi cant interest in recent years due to increased environmental awareness, concern about the depletion of non-renewable resources and the insta-bility in oil prices. In the 2010 forum, you will discover more and more signifi cant innovations in particular in transportation, architecture and sports & leisure.

Another main topic at the 2010 JEC Conferences and Forums pro-gram, will be cost control and process automation. The tran-sition from metal parts to composite is an ongoing process but often labor intensive and therefore expensive. To exploit the full potential of composite materials for high performance lightweight

structures, it is necessary to consider the entire process chain. Automation can bridge that gap for a long-term profi table serial production.

Eco-design, along with cleaner and more eco-effi cient processes, highly auto-mated manufacturing techniques, weight reduction, lower production costs… The JEC 2010 Conferences and Forums program will help you gain insight on major market drivers and new energy-saving strategies for composites.

We look forward to meeting you at JEC Composites Show Paris.

Now is the time for Eco composites

AERONAUTICSAircraft structures: Cost control - the new battleNext generation composite wings: Airbus, Bombardier Aerospace,Daher-Socata New thermoplastic and recyclable solutions

This Aeronautics forum will look at what has to be done to meet current and likely future requirements for cost reductions. The recently founded UK National Composi-tes Centre will be briefl y described and its mission to tackle the issues around low cost composites will be outlined. Finally, next generation wings at Airbus, Bombar-dier Aerospace and Daher-Socata, integrating as much composite in the wing as possible to make aircraft more fuel effi cient, will be presented.

AUTOMOTIVEEnergy saving strategy Cost-effective and lightweight materials and processes Constructors experiences: Audi, Lamborghini, Nissan, Toyota Motor Corporation

2010 will be the Automotive year at JEC. Come and discover how Audi, Lamborghi-ni, Nissan, Toyota Motor Corporation rely on composite to meet the most stringent environmental regulations.

CONSTRUCTION AND CIVIL ENGINEERING Effi cient seismic solutions Reinforcements for tunnels and building Case studies: spectacular applications

Designers in Construction and Civil Engineering are getting better and better at integrating all the potential of composites. Composites address very utilitarian needs, notably for earthquake risks. They serve just as well in new constructions, in renovation and rehabilitation. In civil engineering, new modular and lightwei-ght bridges, that can be assembled and disassembled manually on site, will be presented.

MARINE New solutions as part of the industry recoveryComparative studies of materials Solutions for quality improvement Thermoplastic penetration in Marine

Given the opportunities for further expansion, the marine industry representsa highly attractive market for OEMs, material suppliers, engine suppliers and part suppliers. Resin and reinforcement producers constantly improve their products to achieve better strength, fatigue properties, surface quality, lighter products as well as cheaper and healthier manufacturing processes.

RAIL AND ROAD TRANSPORTATION Green and thermoplastic solutions Agro vehicles Low CO² emissions

Reducing the environmental footprint of terrestrial vehicles is the roadmap of the innovative cluster I-Trans. In Rail and Road Transportation, composites are in-creasingly used since they have the advantages of strength, durability and corro-sion resistance together with low weight. This increases the potential useful load and also helps to save on energy. A new urban collective vehicle, a monocoque trailer made of carbon composite, a modular bus body and composite cylinders for automobile and gas transportation, all reap the benefi t of the high properties of composites.

WIND ENERGY The Global World Energy Council market vision Automation: better quality at lower costs

Wind energy growth demands more and more blades being manufactured. At the same time, wind turbines produce more and more power, which means that the blades grow larger and larger. Robustness of the design and the manufacturing processes is becoming more and more critical. Increasing competition forces ma-nufacturers to increase their throughput while reducing their manufacturing costs. This forum will demonstrate what wind energy companies can learn from aerospace composites best practices and how to maximize the effi ciency and the robustness of the manufacturing process by introducing automation.

RECYCLING AND LIFE CYCLE MANAGEMENTRecycling processes and applications Life Cycle Management Economical and Ecological benefi ts

JEC launches the fi rst observance forum on Recycling and Life Cycle Management (LCM). Long-fi bre, high-grade carbon is a valuable commodity, costing upwards of £10,000 per ton when new. Add to this fact that consumption is increasing, offering competitively priced material having minimally impaired mechanical pro-perties and good surface chemistry is key. Do not miss this forum! This is a unique opportunity to compare European and Japanese LCM-strategies for carbon fi bre composite aircraft and cars. You will network with all actors: universities, industry and reclaimers.

BIO-BASED MATERIALS A booming market Green materials advances Innovative case studies: 3XN architect, Decathon/Artengo, NPSP

With the demand for safer and healthier products enabled by strict environmental regulations, there is a growing need for Bio-based materials. Different aspects give the grounds for the choice of these materials: from an environmental, technical and economical point of view. The forum will highlight different innovations case studies and applications in construction, sports and leisure and transportation.

AUTOMATION Automation through new materials, processes and equipments Trends for the future

Automation is key for reducing the cost of manufacturing composites parts. Europe has the highest rate of automation with 83% of its processes automated. A market overview of the Automotive, Aerospace and Wind Energy requirements for automation will be presented. You will also learn about the most promising tech-nologies and successful examples.

Stephen W. Tsai, Professor Research Emeritus and its speakers will present the best available theory and also design tools that can be used to implement predic-tions of failure, life and damage tolerance of composites.

COMPOSITES SIMULATION The complete simulation chain: new effective processes Case study: a wing assembly

Despite of great advances demonstrated by the academic world, the Manufactu-ring Process Simulation (MPS) is still in its infancy in the industry. In this forum, a case study (composite wing assembly) will enable to introduce to the numerous challenges of MPS. Then, the presentations will demonstrate the benefi ts of using the numerical simulation of manufacturing. The forum will cover the underneath material modeling and how to use it in simulation like for instance fan blades RTM manufacturing for an aircraft engine.

COMPOSITES DEVELOPMENT PROCESS New energy-effi cient design and manufacturing techniques Research projects: key aerospace players testimonials: Airbus, Eurocopter, Premium Aerotec

To exploit the full potential of composite materials for high performance lightwei-ght structures, it is necessary to consider the entire process chain. No single process step can be optimized without taking into account the impact to preceding and subsequent steps. The integration of additional functions into the load carrying structure offers further advantages of composite technology. Some examples from actual research shall illustrate the potentials and challenges in the composite development process.

Test Methods and Error Estimation

Widespread use of quasi-isotropic symmetric laminates known as “black aluminum” makes composite materials uncompetitive. Additio-nally, many design recommendations have been established without scientifi c basis, which further penalize composites. Using uniaxial tests data to generate knock-down factors and design allowable cost millions of dollars and are limited to the specifi c loading conditions. They are often not directly applicable to structural design. Biaxial test data using open-hole and smooth specimens will be presented. These data indicate that even for simple QI laminates failure envelopes are not boxy shaped and cannot be generated by few anchor points. The use of numerical simulations to produce notched strength data for structural design allowable is encouraged, in combination with biaxial test data to verify the predictions. Using few ply angles and as continuous variables will make laminates competitive. The importance of using statistical tools for error estimation in test data will be presented.

Professor, Dept. of Mechanical Engineering Hanyang University, KoreaVisiting Professor, Department of Aeronautics & Astronautics. Stanford University

Lekhnitskii’s Exact Solutions

Analytical solutions in Lekhnitskii’s Aniso-tropic Plates cover various applications of anisotropic beams and plates. The Stanford Composite Design Team started a project to program solutions of nearly all cases pre-sented in this classic book. The fi rst version is now released covering sections on stress distribution in a plate with elliptic or circular openings. Arbitrary normal and shear in-plane loads can be applied to the orthotropic plate with elastic inclusion. The inclusion in the openings can be either open or fi lled with elastic or rigid materials. Inner pressure and shear loads and rigid interferences can be applied to the holes. Once laminate stresses are analytically obtained, each ply stress is calculated by stress transformation. Finally, strength ratios after failure analyses are calculated and plotted in Excel worksheets. These solutions are effective, preliminary design tool for many problems for bolted joints, hole repair and others.

3D Beam

Modeling of composite structure prior to structural analysis fi rst requires specifi cation of geometry, laminations and loads. Such modeling process can be very tedious and often requires high-end modeling and analysis tools. Now a new 3D Beam, based on FEM, is developed as an easy-to-use yet power tool for analysis and design of composite structures. Modeling time is now reduced by one or two orders of magnitude compared to conventional modeling and analysis FEM tools. Successful applications of the 3D Beam covers various types of structures ranging from very complicated wind turbine blades and airplane fuselages to simple beams such as golf shaft and box beam. Vertical and in-plane loads and bending and twisting moments can be applied to any location of the structure. Once the global deformations are calculated, ply stresses and the failure indices are calculated and plotted. The natural frequencies and vibration shapes of up to 10 modes can be additionally computed. The 3D Beam can be also effectively used for error estimation with selected design experimental parameters.

Composites Design and Tools

This forum provides not only an authoritative book: Strength & Life of Composites, but also a set of software tools with instructions of the underlying theory and sample problems. Materials and process engineers must reach this minimum profi ciency level. The tools are devised for practical design. They can also challenges archaic rules that often add mass and cost without rational bases. We believe in closed-formation and numerical simulation tools to guide design and testing. In parti-cular, we recommend 3 ply angles instead of 4. We also believe in homogenized laminate and use ply angles as continuous variables. These designs will increase toughness and lower cost. They will reduce empiricism and increase confi dence in design. This forum is an abbreviated presentation of our biannual Stanford-certifi cated online Composites Design Workshop that offers 44 hours of intensive training delivered live over 11 days.
