This complimentary webinar, Optimization Technology to Design Higher Performing Composite Materials, highlights the use of optimization technology to determine optimal constituent parameters to obtain desired electrical and mechanical performance. Specifically, this webinar details the use of two software tools Noesis Optimus and Digimat to determine ideal volume fractions and fiber aspect ratio to maximize the strength lightweight indicator while ensuring the conductivity is above a specific value.

The engineering methods discussed in this presentation are applicable to most composite materials used in the industry and the content of this presentation is ideal for any engineer involved in the design of composite materials.
