SHORT COURSE ON DURABILITY OF ADHESIVE JOINTS AND COMPOSITES

November 13, 2009: When you make an adhesive joint or a composite as part of some device or product there is always the concern of the durability joint bond or the filler/matrix adhesion. Whether the product is something as prosaic as a cereal box or as high tech as a jet aircraft, the consequences of failure can range anywhere from an annoying nuisance to the endangerment of lives. Thus this course will give an overview of the technology and tools available for evaluating beforehand the expected ?performance of adhesive joints and composites subjected to the environmental and load conditions under which they must survive.

Audience: Scientists, technicians and professional staff in R&D, manufacturing, processing, quality control/reliability involved with applying adhesives to a range of practical applications

Level: Introduction and technical overview

Suggested Prerequisites: General background In chemistry, physics or materials science.

Duration: 1 day

How You Will Benefit from this Course:

Understand advantages and disadvantages of a range of test methods for adhesive joints and composites

Gain insight into mechanics of adhesion testing and the role of material properties

Explore the full range of phenomena affecting composite and joint reliability including: adhesion to substrate, thermal-mechanical properties of adhesive and matrix binder materials and the effect of residual stress.

Review most important non-destructive inspection methods for discovering flaws in joint formation and composite structure

Gain perspective from detailed discussion of actual case studies of product manufacturing and development problems
