Steve Tsai Masterclass on Double-Double (DD)

12 Mar 2026
Agora 5

A globally recognized pioneer and thought leader in composite materials, Professor Steve Tsai will deliver an exceptional masterclass on Double-Double (DD) laminates, one of the most powerful laminate architectures developed to date. DD laminates are progressively replacing traditional Quad laminates by offering a unified set of parameters for stiffness and strength, enabling a single calibration test to be scaled across all carbon materials and DD laminate configurations. This innovative approach allows laminate tapering with up to 50% weight savings. Combined with thin-ply technology, DD laminates enable highly efficient designs, including one-axis layups using pre-plied tape. A must-attend session providing direct insight from the originator of concepts that are redefining composite laminate design.
