Aerospace Workshop 2019
8 April 2019, National Composites Centre, Bristol, UK
This workshop, organised by the Aerospace
Committee of BINDT, will present current research and developments in NDT and SHM for aerospace composites that are being undertaken to support their introduction and use in the aerospace sector.This workshop aims to review progress towards meeting the NDT and SHM requirements as defined at the 2016 workshop on aerospace composites. This will cover NDT research applicable at the design stage, in process verification and towards better-informed concession decisions; all areas that were identified could provide significant benefit for aerospace composites.
The attendance fee is £70.00 + VAT.
This fee covers attendance at the workshop, lunch,
other refreshments and a tour of the facilities at the NCC.Registration
