    Notes: Composites are prime examples of technology moving faster than theunderlying science. Faced with increasing global competitiveness, theissues of high cost, product robustness and long lead times associatedwith product development are emerging in the forefront of problemsfacing emerging and existing performance-critical industries, such as inthe area of advanced materials. However, the mere use of the newparadigms or philosophies, such as concurrent engineering, isinsufficient to guarantee successful completion of the productrealization process (PRP). Planning for competitiveness and quality asan integral part of the programme goals and decision process is a key tosuccess. It is essential that clear plans be developed and measurableattributes of performance be identified as early in the design processas possible. The approach described herein provides the framework forsuccessful implementation of an integrated decision-production systemwithin the basic definition of Total Quality Management (TQM). Discussesthe five elements critical to the success of a new technology orproduct: definition; requirements; benchmarking; concepts; and review.

    Description: This presentation afforded the opportunity to look back in the literature to discover scaling effects in nature that might be relevant to composites. Numerous examples were found in nature's approaches to wood, teeth, horns, leaves, eggs, feathers, etc. Nature transmits tensile forces rigidly with cohesive bonds, while dealing with compression forces usually through noncompressible hydraulics. The optimum design scaling approaches for aircraft were also reviewed for comparison with similitude laws. Finally, some historical evidence for the use of Weibull scaling in composites was reviewed.
