Technical Textiles Week @ NCState College of TextilesTEXCOMP-12

May 26-29, 2015

TEXCOMP is a unique biannual international conference series fully dedicated to textile composites. It has also gained its primary place among major composites confer-ences in the world. The TEXCOMP conferences started in 1992 at Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium, and since then it has toured around the world. Traditionally, this conference series covers a broad range of research topics from innovative reinforcements and composites manufac-turing methods to aerospace, automotive, civil engineering, marine, biomedical and other applications. Such topics as computational modeling, predictive analysis, mechanical characterization and non-destructive evaluation of textile composites have also earned major roles in the scope of this conference series.

The 2015 conference will be hosted, for the first time, by NC State University’s College of Textiles, which has the largest and most prominent textile academic and research pro-grams in the world. Textile composites research, education and industrial collaboration are among top priorities of the college. You will have great opportunity to take a closer look at those activities during the conference.

Important Dates• November 15, deadline for abstract submission• February 1, paper acceptance announced• February 15, early bird registration opens

3D Fabrics and Their Applications

May 26-28, 2015

This series of conferences started in Manchester UK in 2008 with an attendance of 150 people and was followed by conferences in Greenville, SC, USA in 2009, Wuhan, China in 2011, Aachen, Germany in 2012, and Delhi, India in 2013. We are pleased to announce that the Sixth Conference of this series will be in the USA during May 26-28, 2015, hosted by the College of Textiles, NC State,a world leader in textile engineering education and research with strong activities in 3D fabrics.

The advances in the textile-technology for 3D fabrics are diverse. Solid 3D woven fabrics, which can be made on commercial machinery either as flat panels or 3D shapes, are of importance in composites. They give potential for major reductions in aircraft weight and have significant ap-plications in military hardware. The stimulus to development given by these uses opens up possibilities in automotive, construction, medical and many other fields. Hollow woven fabrics with multiple voids can be used in protective com-posites. Tubular forms can be multiply branched. For some forms, braiding is an alternative to weaving. Advances in knitting mean that whole garments can be produced, so that stitching together of separate pieces is eliminated; similar developments are taking place in weaving. This technology can be adapted to make complex 3D shapes for technical uses. 3D shells can be made by nonwoven technology.

Important Dates• Januray 15, deadline for abstract submission

Design and Innovation with Computer Simulation3.5 day course$1495 per person $2195 for Master Black Belt credit July 14-17, 2015 http://go.ncsu.edu/zte_courses

AboutComplex processes are difficult to analyze because direct experimentation with them isn’t feasible or practical. Traditional quality improvement methods such as Design of Experiments (DOE) and statistical process control are limited due to the complexity of the process and limited visualization of bottlenecks and throughput. Computer Simulation is a tool that can combat those deficiencies by creating a detailed understanding of how a process is configured or product is produced. It provides a laboratory for developing current “As Is” models and transitioning to “Future State” models without costly capital investments. Simulation adds value to your projects by accurately modeling complex transactional, healthcare, supply chain, and manufacturing environments, testing operational alternatives, and quantifying potential results and performance expectations in chaotic processes, where high variability is present.
