Designed for engineers and researchers, the objective of this workshop is to introduce concepts of design, manufacturing and conditioning monitoring pertaining to advanced composite for aerospace application. The Institute is expecting to host eminent scientists from Aeronautics Research & Development Board (the aerospace research wing of DRDO) who will provide exposure to research perspectives on composites in the aerospace industry.

The one week workshop has been designed to introduce theoretical and practical aspects of composite material research to engineers and researchers to make them equipped to solve problems. This workshop will be particularly beneficial for engineering students, engineers and scientists working in various institutions.

Speaking about the workshop, Dr. Subhamoy Sen, Workshop Coordinator and Assistant Professor, School of Engineering, IIT Mandi, said: “To materialize the aspiration of making India a global manufacturing hub, the in-house development of state-of-the-art design and manufacturing concepts for all spheres of industry is being encouraged. The civil, defence and commercial aerospace industries are also pushing their limits to compete with the world leaders in this domain. Over the last decade, composite materials have found large scale applications in aerospace industries. With the advent of cheap sensor technologies and powerful computational facilities, condition monitoring has come up as another avenue to ensure safety and serviceability of composite materials in use in the aircrafts”.
