NEW FOR 2024
Sunday Training Session!
Sunday, January 21 - 9:30AM - 5PM
Lunch & Refreshments will be provided.
ABOUT THE COURSE
The workforce development short course will introduce and train participants on the materials science and engineering of ultra-high temperature ceramic (UHTC) materials, ceramic matrix composites (including carbon-carbon composites), as well as some refractory metals to support the design and manufacturing sustainment. This session will be delivered in an ITAR compliant environment and is intended to benefit engineers, technicians, production operators, and quality assurance personnel along with supply chain vendors and subcontractors.
- History of hypersonic flight and design
- Hypersonic aerothermodynamics and hypersonic materials challenges
- Introduction to mechanical properties
- Thermal properties
- Applications of thermal and mechanical properties
- Composites including carbon/carbon and ceramic matrix composites and their manufacture (will include some coverage of metals used in systems)
Topics covered include:
Participants will receive a full set of notes for the college course on which this short course is based.
Attendance will be limited to the first 75 attendees who sign up for this short course. More details to come.
MEET THE INSTRUCTOR
Professor Rodney W. Trice
Professor Rodney Trice, whose home department is in the School of Materials Engineering at Purdue University, has focused on many fundamental and applied research topics over the last 25 years. Prof. Trice, his students, and his faculty collaborators have investigated structure-property relationships of plasma-sprayed thermal barrier coatings at high temperature, researched the effect of petroleum-based and biofuel impurities on degradation of thermal barrier coatings, and established the importance of the suspension plasma spray process for industrial purposes. Prof. Trice begin working in the hypersonics research area in 2010. He is currently investigating the following hypersonic materials related topics: high-temperature high-emissivity coatings for carbon/carbon composites, processing of IR and RF windows, additive manufacture of C/C composites, direct ink write of SiC short fiber/SiC composites, digital light projection of UHTCs and RF window materials, novel energy absorbing ceramics, and powder-processing schemes to fabricate ceramics into complex shapes. His current research is supported by industrial sources, ONR, BETO, Draper Labs, AFRL, and AFOSR. He is a Fellow of the American Ceramic Society and handles ceramic-related submissions for Additive Manufacturing and Materials Research Letters.RETURNING FOR 2024
Lunch N' Learn Sessions!
The Composites, Materials, & Structures (CMS) Conference is pleased to offer Lunch ‘N Learn sessions again this year to
promote workforce development and knowledge building regarding materials for extreme environments.
- The daily sessions (Monday thru Thursday) will be presented by subject matter experts across a variety of important topics including material fundamentals, testing and evaluation, and key historical programs and lessons learned.
- These learning sessions are targeted to help young engineers/scientists or those who are unfamiliar with a topic as these will be “general overview” sessions (“100 level topics”).
- The Lunch ‘N Learn Sessions will be free and open to all conference attendees. These sessions will be included in the registration price and no additional sign-up will be required.
- Lunch will NOT be provided, so attendees will have to bring their own lunch.
