Poster presentation at CMG start-up meeting
On 09.09.2022, the start-up meeting of the Composites Material Group (CMG), a globally recognized center for composite materials research that was started in 1982, took place. Project results of the Athens project were shared via a poster presentation.
As a member of the Composites Material Group (CMG) within KU Leuven, research results of the ATHENS project were presented during one of the foreseen poster sessions. The work on the mechanical characterization of adhesive bonds, focusing on the effect of global effects such as fiber volume fraction and aspect ratio, but also more local effects such as fiber orientations and local orientations depending on the manufacturing process was presented.
