SEMINAR ABSTRACT:
The presentation will consider approaches to modeling various stages of the technological process for composite materials with a thermosetting matrix. Methods for modeling such processes as draping, determining the permeability of a reinforcing fabric, impregnation, polymerization, and predicting residual deformations are presented. Also presented are virtual test benches for standard mechanical testing of samples of composite materials, a methodology for developing mathematical models of such materials. 

Dr. Mikhail Kiauka graduated from the Kazan State Technical University named after Tupolev in 2010 and defended a diploma with a degree in «Rocket Engines». He finished postgraduate studies and passed Ph.D. defense in 2013. He is a Ph.D. in Technical Sciences degree. In the period of work on the dissertation research, he mainly worked on with the issues of heat transfer in aircrafts and aircraft design. Since 2013 and to the present day I have been doing composite structures analysis and thermal analysis by analytical and numerical methods. In 2015 the internship at RWTH Aachen University within three months allowed to get experience of research work in a European university. Since 2019 he has been working at Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University.
