Failure and Life of Composites : An Internet Course offered through WebEx 17/02/2006
After well received, successful completion of Composites Design Tutorial-1, we are pleased to announce Composites Design Tutorial-2 starting on April 8, 2008. This tutorial, comprising of twelve weekly 120-minute live sessions, is offered over the internet using the cutting edge WebEx application with VoIP. The tutorial is offered to the Eastern and Western Worlds at convenient local time followed by active Q&A in English and other three languages for extended period. This allows the participants to access the tutorial contents on demand 24/7, even after the live tutorial sessions.
New subjects for Composites Design Tutorial-2 include:
- Out-of-plane strength and bolted joints
- Much improved Super Mic-Mac+ harnessing the power of Micro Mechanics of Failure.
- New Mic-Mac/FEA
- Demonstration of tools such as Mic-Mac and Abaqus in composites design.
- Pratical "hands on" problem assignments commented on the classes
This series of tutorial features lectures from experts around the globe from companies, institutes involved in the cutting edge research and applications of composites.
Registration Fee:
- US$1,500 per connection for institutions for one participant
- Special $500 per connection for Tutorial 1 participants
- $150 for each extra participant ($75 fee for 2 CEU's)
Fee includes textbook, Simulia/Abaqus student edition, design tools and free download of all documents/tools.

THINK COMPOSITES AT JEC exhibition Paris 1, 2 , 3 April 08/03/2008 |
THINK COMPOSITES will be at the JEC2008 exhibition. We shall be happy to meet you on our booth T1 in the SME Village. Demonstrations of our new tools SuperMICMAC based on unique features such as MMF(Micromechanics failure) and ETM (Accelerated Testing Methodology)and MICMAC-FEA interfacing with Simulia-Abaqus. Steve TSAI will be a presenter in Aeronautic Forum . He will introduce the last developments by its global team.

How good is your design skill? 17/02/2006 |
Designing with composite materials can be challenging. Sometimes intuitive solutions are not always the best and some commonly used method such as “carpet-plots” are unconservative. [Read more]

Short courses and continuing education 17/02/2006 |
Roland HARRY, continuing education program manager THINK COMPOSITES provides short courses and training sessions on composites design. A regular sessions will include courses on mechanics of composites and hand-on-computer training sessions on THINK COMPOSITES SOFTWARE. Courses provide real-life cases design study of composite parts. Regular sessions are held in Bordeaux. Specific sessions can be also organised in your own company. Next training session will be held in September 2006. For inquiry, please contact Roland HARRY at rharry@free.fr.
