This book contains the Proceedings of the Sixth International Conference on Computer Aided Design in Composite Material Technology, held in Montreal, Canada, August 26-28, 1998. As with the first five conferences, the conference brought together engineers and scientists interested in the use of computers for the design and analysis of composite materials, integrating two important technologies. The book covers topics relating to the simulation, modeling and experimentation of composite materials. Methods relating to design, optimization and the manufacturing of composite systems are also included. Coorganized by the Wessex Institute of Technology, Southampton, UK, and Concordia University of Montreal, Canda, the conference attracted contributions from researchers in 29 countries working in many areas of research, including mixed numerical/experimental methods, damage analysis, characterization of materials, higher order theory in alaysis of laminates, design optimization, finite element development and modelling, micromechanics, stochastic fracture processes, measurement methods, process modelling and simulation, resin transfer moulding, simulation of mechanical properties, vibration simulation and expert systems. Applications discussed include composites for building adn bridge construction, sandwich plates smart composite materials, concrete structures and fabvric composites.
