Technical Group Webinar
JOIN OUR POLYMERS AND COMPOSITE TECHNICAL GROUP (TG7) WEBINAR
Who should attend?
Anyone who works with polymers and composites and is interested in both destructive and non-destructive testing.
What will you learn?
Attendees will learn the basics of polymer and composite testing, and why these interesting materials often need specialised test fixtures and some unusual test methods. Non-destructive testing, especially of certain composites, can also provide challenges, and understanding the limitations of techniques can help prevent a lot of wasted time.
Attendees will go away with an appreciation of how polymers and composites can be successfully used to exploit their unique properties.
Experts from industry and TWI Ltd will be presenting on a range of topics:
- Matthew Day, Dolphitech Ltd on An Introduction to Non—Destructive Testing
- Peter Fuller, Instron on Destructive Testing

MEET OUR EXPERTS
Matthew Day
Presentation: An Introduction to Non-Destructive Testing
An introduction to Non-Destructive Testing, overview of the five core methods with a focus on Ultrasonics Inspection. The Presentation will touch on some applications where different methods excel and how they complement each other.
Peter Fuller
Presentation: Destructive Testing
The Presentation will cover the basic principles of materials testing polymers and composites. Some key points that will be discussed are: Standards, test methods, machine types, gripping techniques, strain measurements, non-ambient testing, accuracy and consistency of test date.
