Composites Workshop

LBNL is offering a specially tailored composites workshop aimed at engineers, technicians, and scientists working on silicon particle detectors. The workshop will contain both hands-on fabrication sessions, as well as classroom presentations and discussion on: -Fabrication tools, materials, and best practices -Design best practices, calculations, and analysis -Material properties, selection criteria, and handling -Modeling and FEA of composite structures -Joining techniques and precision assembly The workshop is aimed at those who have some prior composites experience, but who would like to augment direct hands-on experience in building parts, be introduced to diverse topics in materials, modeling, and analysis, and have the chance to discuss best practices and techniques among like-minded colleagues. If you are unsure of the applicability of the workshop content to your work or skill level, please don't hesitate to contact us for advice. We will also be organizing two social activities and a possible pre-pregger factory tour. If you would like to participate in these events, please indicate in your registration.
