DYNACOMP. Training the next generation of composite engineers in the era of virtual testing.

The use of polymer based composite materials in aircraft structures has increased dramatically in the last decades and today they represent up to 50% in weight (Airbus A350 and Boeing B787 Dreamliner aircrafts) for wings, fuselage sections and tail surfaces. The driving force for the introduction of these materials in transport has been their contribution to weight reduction and fuel consumption savings, while offering outstanding mechanical properties. However, the use of composite materials in other parts of the planes that…

DYNACOMP. Formando a la nueva generación de ingenieros de materiales compuestos en la era del ensayo virtual.

El uso de materiales compuestos basados en polímeros en estructuras aeronáuticas se ha incrementado muy notablemente en las últimas décadas. Hoy en día representan hasta el 50% del peso en las alas, secciones de fuselaje y superficies de cola (modelos Airbus A350 y Boeing B787). Estos materiales han sido introducidos en el sector del transporte por el ahorro de peso y combustible que suponen, así como por su excelente comportamiento mecánico. No obstante, el uso de los materiales compuestos en…

4 Early Stage Researcher Positions. European Industrial Doctorate CardioFunXion

CardioFunXion provides a platform for industrial-clinical-academic collaboration and will be an example of future partnerships in more efficient and auditable clinical image interpretation tools. All partners bring specific expertise: either they produce workstations (PHILIPS), use them (IDIBAPS, CHUC) or contribute to algorithms to be incorporated into them (UPF). By organising and accelerating exchange of knowledge, experience and tools between the different actors, CardioFunXion will consolidate sustainable partnerships. The project will give early-stage researchers (ESRs) the opportunity to be exceptionally well-placed…
