Composite Joining Principles

Use of the correct joints is vital to creating highly functional composite structures. We highly recommend this course for composite designers who want to improve their approach to bonding and joining composite materials ensuring better results.

For a designer joints are usually the first, and most challenging, point to consider in a design. It’s also the area that’s most likely to fail if you get it wrong.

Built using our wealth of knowledge and experience, this course is designed to introduce you to cutting edge technologies as well as teach you the fundamentals of composites joining techniques.

We’ll explore the practicalities of joining, the materials & fasteners used, along with the preliminary analysis required to ensure you select the best approach first time, every time.

What we'll cover:

• Bolted joints:
  • Fastener types
  • Joint design
  • Load capacity and failure modes
• Bonded joints:
  • Adhesive types
  • Joint design
  • Load capacity and failure modes
  • Inspection of joints
• Composite welding techniques
