Many members of the CerTest team attended the recent 21st European Conference on Composite Materials (ECCM21) held on Nantes, July 2nd-5th. CerTest contributed to various sessions and poster discussions in addition to their own special symposium on Integrated testing and modelling of composite structures – towards virtual testing and certification by analysis.
The event was highly successful, with all presentation and poster displays being very well received. It also presented CerTest with the very welcome opportunity to network with the wider composites community and disseminate their research.
Below you will find details of the sessions that CerTest contributed to. Please follow the links to download the presentations.
