9:00 9:50 Plenary Lecture I:
Challenges in Bringing Composites to Large-Scale Aerospace Production—The 787 Dreamliner

Thomas Tsotsis [BOEING]
Chairman: Federico París | Rooms: Sevilla (1,2 and 3)
14:30 15:15 Keynote Lecture I:
The impact behavior of composites and sandwich structures

The first part of this paper reviews some of the key studies in this area, focusing primarily on experimental attempts to characterize damage initiation and propagation in these structures.
Wesley Cantwell
Chairman: Janis Varna | Room: Sevilla 1
Keynote Lecture II:
Hierarchical or Fibre Reinforced Nano-Composites: An opportunity to improve matrix dominated composite properties

We will briefly review the progress made in the development and processing of hierarchical, also called nanoenergineered or nanoreinforced, composites. We will also review the properties of hierarchical composites and provide perspectives for future progress.
Alexander Bismarck
Chairman: Ignaas Verpoest | Room: Sevilla 2
Keynote Lecture III:
Prediction of initiation and growth of cracks in composites. Coupled stress and energy criterion of the Finite Fracture Mechanics

Computational methods developed for the prediction of crack onset and growth are reviewed. The coupled stress and energy criterion of the Finite Fracture Mechanics is presented and some of its applications to composites at micro-, meso- and macro-scale are shown.
Vladislav Mantič
Chairman: Dominique Leguillon | Room: Sevilla 3

9:00 9:50 Plenary Lecture III:
 Composites in the Aerospace Sector: Technological Excellence through Innovation as key factor for Competitiveness — the A400M
Miguel Angel Morell [AIRBUS]
Chairman: Federico París | Rooms: Sevilla (1,2 and 3)
14:30 15:15 Keynote Lecture IV:
Composites manufacturing overview of current advances and challenges for the future

This paper provides a synthetic overview of the development of manufacturing technologies and discusses some routes for current and future challenges in composite manufacturing.
Christophe Binetruy
Chairman: Antonio Torres Marques | Room: Sevilla 1
Keynote Lecture V:
A damage-based approach to the fatigue of composites

The talk presents first an overview on damage evolution in composite laminates under cyclic loading and its influence on the structural response. Then new strategies for the description of crack initiation and growth in multidirectional laminates are discussed
Marino Quaresimin
Chairman: Leif Asp | Room: Sevilla 2
Keynote Lecture VI:
The World-Wide Failure Exercises: How can composites design and manufacture communities build their strength

The paper deals generally with the three exercise (WWFE, WWFE-II and WFE-III) that have taken place over the last 20 years.  The focus is on some of the lessons emanating from the latest exercise (WWFE-III).
Sam Kaddour
Chairman: Michael Wisnom | Room: Sevilla 3
 
June 26th, 2014 (Thursday)
9:00 9:50 Plenary Lecture IV:
The Albert Cardon Lecture

The Albert Cardon Lecture is given by the winner of the ESCM Award, which recognizes the accomplishments of a young researcher, active in Europe, who has made significant contributions in the field of composite materials
Chairman: Marino Quaresimin | Rooms: Sevilla (1,2 and 3)
