Hi,

My names Jack, recently graduated from Loughborugh University with a 2.1 (hons) in Materials Engineering.

Noteable experience with composites:

• I spent a summer placement working for TRB lightweight structures who manufacture honeycomb panels. So quite a lot of experience in manufacture and design there.
• My 3rd year dissertation which i achieved 76% on, titled "Ultra high molecular weight polyethyle composites", was a 6 month project using a new form of polyethylene with biaxial weaved carbon fibre to produce a composite of very high impact resistance.
• I have had a wet lay up composite hobby for a few years now. I designed an air duct through Solidworks, did CFD, made the mould and have attempted with CF.

I now work for BAE systems doing failure analysis and as a part time hobby am looking to increase my knowlegde and practical experience of composites. I have bought "competition car composites" by Simon McBeath and so far it seems pretty informative.

I am currently trying to get my boss to allow me to go to the NEC on the 7-8th November for the composite engineering show

The hobby, in bullet point 3 is the main reason I have joined the club. I would highly appreciate guidance and tips when I startup a project log.

Just been looking through the forum and saw the pics you posted and youtube video of the car with the red weave. Very nice. Please subscribe to my project log when i start it, you seem to know exactly what your doing Matthieu and your guidance would be much appreciated.
