NDT 2011 - Composites Overview: Materials, Manufacturing, Design/Analysis, Testing/NDT and Applications

This seminar provides design engineers, manufacturing engineers, and technical personnel with an in-depth presentation of the key topics associated with advanced composites materials their manufacturing methods, design/analysis approach to composites, testing composites, NDE methods of inspection and numerous applications of composite materials and structures. This course, developed by BTG Composites for SAMPE, represents updated technologies associated with today’s current advanced composites materials and structures.

As an additional bonus, all seminar attendees will receive a free exhibit hall pass to COMPOSITES 2011, taking place at the same location from February 2-4, 2011.
