Composite parts live and breathe by their joints. As a Designer, they are usually the first, and most challenging point to consider in a project. It’s also the area that’s most likely to fail if you get it wrong.

Led by the experts from our Design and Simulation team, this course is designed to introduce you to the fundamentals of composites joining. We’ll talk you through the various methods available and help you make decisions on selecting the best approach.

We highly recommend this course for Designers who want to improve their approach to bonding and joining composite materials and get better results first time.

What we cover:

What to consider in multi-material joining

• Key polymer & hybrid joining methods
• Emerging joining methods

Bolted Joints

• Design approach
• Calculating load capacity
• Calculating failure modes

Bonded joints

• How bonded joints transfer loads
• Design approach
• Calculating load capacity
• Manufacture, assembly and test
