JEC Conferences NEWS conferences The gathering of composite experts community INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON AUTOMOTIVE TECHNOLOGIES lnternational Conference on Automotive Technology TECHNICAL - Multimaterial solutions CONFERENCES With light-weighting remaining the biggest challenge, part of the solution could come from a compromise between composites and metals. On a smaller scale, developing hybrid structures in the form of toughened composites with better balanced mechanical properties is also key. Light-weighting, hybridization, and adhesive bonding will be among main focuses of this session. - Incorporating carbon fibre in structural parts The increased popularity of carbon fiber is the main repercussion of the weight-saving challenges but it brings on its own set of issues that need to be addressed. As environmental concerns and regulations become more stringent, repair and recycling of carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastics have become priorities. in partnership with: WORKSHOPS The following companies are confirmed to present: - Affordable Composites - Development and Industrial Commercialization of Composite Materials - Partnerships and Innovations in Composite Manufacturing Get your badge at www.jecforums-badges.com in partnership with: APPLICATIONS DESIGN AND TESTING MARKET OVERVIEW - Carbon fibre in mass production vehicles - Advances and challenges in the aeronautics industry - Easy design tools for composites structures - Testing and life cycle - Market drivers in off-shore activities: Energy, Oil & Gas Get your badge at www.jecasia-badges.com TRENDS Newport Beach, CA, USA December 6.7 2016 Official partner: CHALLENGES - Optimising racing bikes performances - Towards mass production of leisure and urban bikes - Trends in electric bikes design - Non-destructive testing and quality control of bike parts - The challenges of repairing carbon fibre frames - Recycling carbon fibre: Energy efficient solutions Find out more & register on www.cyclitech.events YOUR CONTACTS Frédéric Reux Cécile Lagoutte Media Director & Editor-in-Chief reux@jeccomposites.com Conferences/Awards Project Manager lagoutte@jeccomposites.com Tel.: +33 (0)1.58.36.15.79 No107 August - September 2016 / jec composites magazine 11http://www.jecforums-badges.com http://www.jecasia-badges.com http://www.cyclitech.events
