FRC 2000: 8th International Conference on Fibre Reinforced Composites
(13 - 15 September 2000, Centre for Composite Materials Engineering, University of Newcastle, UK)
The choice of theme reflected the steadily changing range of technologies available to designers and processors of these highly effective materials. Applications and New Developments highlights the new areas where these materials are being applied. These fields now extend well beyond the established ones of aerospace, marine and land transport into the rapidly broadening range of civil engineering and infrastructure applications. Other sessions include Composite Processing, Composite Properties, Materials Modelling and Green Composites.
