About The Training Course

This one day training course is for managers and technicians with responsibility for QA testing of composite materials and components, designers, specifiers and sales personnel. 

Course Objectives

• Combining classroom based theory with practical demonstrations for the most common mechanical tests; ranging from simple flexural testing to the more complex testing such as compression testing.
• This training course covers everything participants would expect from an introductory training event including; defining what a composite material is, the common terms used in mechanical testing and why mechanical testing is carried out. It also looks at the theory of why the specimens used for testing are the shape and size they are and how to optimise a test setup to ensure reliable, repeatable and accurate results.
