Abstract:

These proceedings are a record of the International Workshop on Experimental Techniques in the Analysis of Composite Structures held at the University of Paisley, Scotland in September 1997. This workshop was jointly sponsored by the University of Paisley and the US Air Force European Office of Aerospace Research Development EOARD. The development of future military and civilian aerospace systems depends on new breakthroughs in advanced materials. Composite structures have become indispensable to aerospace designers who continually seek lighter weight, better heat resistance and lower cost alternatives to conventional materials. EOARD is proud to sponsor cutting-edge workshops such as this one that directly contribute to fundamental understanding of this vital material.
