SimonBickerton, Directorof the Centre for Advanced Composite Materials and also Director of theInnovative Manufacturing and Materials Programmeat the University of Auckland. He gained his PhD from the Centre for CompositeMaterials, University of Delaware, U.S.A. From 1999 to 2011 he served as anacademic staff member at the University of Auckland. In 2012 he took up a threeyear secondmentto the BMW Group, Munich, Germany. There he worked within the departmentresponsible for manufacture of structural carbon fibreparts with focus on the BMW Project and the latest release of BMW’s 7-series.He maintains a strong collaboration with BMW, carrying out funded research onnon-destructive analysis of fibrereinforcements, quality control in composites manufacturing, and manufactureand performance of sandwich structures for automotive application.
Abstract Researchon fibrereinforced plastics (FRP) was initiated at the University of Auckland in the1980s, supporting New Zealand’s innovative use of FRP in high-end yacht racing(the America’s Cup). In 2004 the Centre for Advanced Composite Materials (CACM)was established, and since that time materials and manufacturing processes havebeen developed for an increasing number of fields (marine, aerospace,automotive, medical, infrastructure and building, and sports). The CACM includes extensive experimentalfacilities, and has developed significant expertise on analysis and simulation,which have been applied to novel materials, manufacturing process development,and component performance. An overview will be presented on the CACM, highlightingthe breadth of research to date, and current research directions.
