The 15th International Conference on Flow Processes in Composite Materials (FPCM-15) will be hosted by the Composites Manufacturing and Simulation Center of Purdue University and will be held in the Indiana Manufacturing Institute during June 27-29, 2023, in West Lafayette, IN, USA. The conference covers both well-established topics of previous FPCM conferences and new topics based on the expertise of the hosting country in simulation of manufacturing processes in composite materials and structures, such as, composites extrusion deposition additive manufacturing; anisotropic molding flows for high volume fraction fiber, polymer composites; hybrid molding of continuous and discontinuous fiber composites; and combined infusion and squeeze flow. One of the primary goals of the conference is to encourage the intellectual talent of the FPCM Community to contribute to the growing challenges in developing optimum manufacturing approaches in light weighting of land based and aerospace vehicles of composite materials, as well as, alternative energy systems. The conference is the 15th in a series devoted to the manufacturing of polymer matrix composites and related topics. Previous meetings were held in the United States (2004), France (2006), Canada (2008), Switzerland (2010), New Zealand (2012), The Netherlands (2014), Japan (2016) and Sweden (2018).
In order to properly accommodate the attendees and ensure a successful 15th International Conference on Flow Processes in Composite Materials (FPCM-15) at the Indiana Manufacturing Institute, only 125 registrants will be accepted. Laboratory tours and demonstrations will be an important part of the Conference. To ensure participation in the Conference, early registration is recommended.
The conference registration fee of $700 (early-bird) or $800 after April 17, 2023, will provide for refreshments at breaks, lunches during the conference and a formal dinner to be held in the Shivley Club of the Ross-Ade Stadium. Student rates will be $500/$600 conference.
Submission Guidelines
Abstracts for both technical talks and posters are accepted. Please indicate the type of abstract when you submit. All abstracts must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another conference. Abstracts of up to two pages are requested. Abstracts for technical talks will require paper submissions following abstract acceptance. Please start your title with "Poster:" or "Talk:"for your submission to indicate the type of abstracts you are submitting.
