Workshop Details

  • Natural fibres are a promising alternative to synthetic fibres as a reinforcing material for
    composites due to their lower density, biodegradability, abundant availability, strong damping qualities, reduced abrasive damage to equipment, and high health safety.
  • There is a growing need for high-performance composites, which drives manufacturers to adopt innovative technologies to suit consumer needs.
  • This workshop focuses on the advanced manufacturing and soft computing techniques used in the natural fibre-reinforced polymer (NFRP) composites industry.

Content of the Workshop

  • Selection of natural fibres using multicriteria decision-making techniques.
  • Advanced manufacturing techniques for NFRP composites.
  • Finite element analysis of composites.
  • Hands-on practice of fabrication and processing of NFRP composites.
  • Hybrid composites
  • Testing of composites
  • Optimization techniques for composite designs.
  • Advanced composites include a sandwich, functionally graded and curved fibre composites.

Important Dates

  • The last date for submitting the online or offline form for registration is April 16, 2023.
  • Event Date: 24th to 28th April 2023

Attendee

  • Participation in this workshop is open to faculty and students of recognized technical institutes, researchers from the research laboratory, engineers from industries and any other interested personnel.
  • The successful participants will be given a participation certificate.
