- European Scientific Workshop -

This workshop is organized in memoriam of Professor Alain Vautrin
who died suddenly on June 12th, 2011.

The actual conditions of manufacturing may affect the geometry and ultimate strength of composites structures. They are nevertheless poorly taken into account for predicting the mechanical behavior of the manufactured parts. These conditions and their effects are indeed complex to assess and to model. In this context, embedded optical fibers offer the opportunity to enrich the continuous monitoring of the curing process with bulk measurements.
This workshop aims to contribute in a state of the art of the recent advances in the field of cure monitoring of composite structures. In situ measurements, preferably combined with those made in the mold, will be emphasized. The focus will be mainly put on the relationship between the measures and the state of the material. Both the cure cycle (e.g., pressure, temperature, polymerization, etc.) and the initial state of the structure (e.g., residual strains, etc.) after production can be examined. Different processes (e.g., Autoclave, RTM, VARI, filament winding, etc.), with their specificities, could be tackled.
