Cold Regions Composites Workshop

CMS 9713561 PI：M.佛罗里达大西洋大学 拟议的纤维增强塑料（FRP）研讨会将讨论在寒冷地区典型荷载条件下FRP产品的构造和性能。主要关注的应用领域将是民用结构，包括交通，建筑和卫生设施。阻碍复合材料长期使用的主要问题之一是它们在经历环境温度和低温温度之间的热循环的寒冷区域中保持完整性的能力。严寒环境对复合材料结构和部件的性能影响很大。 关于复合材料的生命周期成本、环境退化和极端环境性能的信息很少。研讨会将为研究人员、学者、实践工程师和FRP产品制造商提供一个独特的论坛，讨论与极端环境中FRP复合材料相关的问题。

CMS 9713561 PI: M. Arockiasamy Florida Atlantic University The proposed workshop on Fiber Reinforced Plastics (FRP) will address construction and performance of FRP productssubjected to loading conditions typical to cold regions. Application area of primary focus will be civil structures including transportation, buildings, and sanitary facilities. One of the major concern regardimg the prolonged use of composite materials is their ability to retain integrity in cold regions where thermal cycling between ambient temperature and cryogenic temperature is experienced. Performance of compositre structures and components is seriously affected in very cold environment. Only scant information is available on the life cycle costs, environmental degradation, and extreme environment performances of the composites. The workshop will provide a unique forum for the researchers, academics, practiving engineers, and FRP product manufacturers to discuss problems associated with FRP composites in extreme environments.
