Composite Materials Training

[labno2015]

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone can recommend (or can provide) any "individual" online training (or tutoring)services on composite materials analysis. This may be conducted through online sessions (Skype or similar).

Have you had a look at open courses to start? I've had interns who haven't yet covered composites on their degree do this online course while working for me:

It gets on to laminated plate mechanics quite late on so is light on the mechanics of composite materials, but probably worth you looking at.

I have been doing training courses since 2003 via SpecialChem and also have my own website with recorded webinars. Introduction to plastics, filled plastics basics, filled plastics advanced, impact modification of plastics plus dispersants and coupling agents for fillers. It's more about the materials themselves though, not analysis. Check if SpecialChem have one on your topic (keywords to search SpecialChem eTraining).

Hi adfergusson
Thanks for the tip. I'm following that course as well. It's as you said, very light on the mechanics portion. As a matter of fact, the video clips are in the range of 2-3 minutes. Are you aware of any similar open course? Thanks

Hi Demon,
Thank you for the information. It looks very interesting series of training courses. However, I'm interested in the analysis, design, manufacturing of composites
