The University of Dayton Research Institute (UDRI, Dayton, Ohio) says it has been on the cutting edge of composites advancements for more than 60 years, supporting composites manufacturers from the beginning of the design process through first-article fabrication and subsequent testing.
UDRI owns and operates the Dayton Composite Center, which serves as a demonstration work ell for new composite innovations as well as current best practices. In addition, UDRI has fully equipped labs for mechanical testing (coupon through full structures), non-destructive analysis, additive and subtractive machining and aerospace sustainment. UDRI says its team of more than 700 professionals is available to provide their expertise and experience to any composite-related need.
