The Center of Excellence for Advanced Materials in Transport Aircraft Structures (AMTAS) is a division of the FAA’s Joint Advanced Materials and Structure Center of Excellence, established in 2004 to assist in ensuring the safe and reliable application of composites and other advanced materials to commercial aircraft.
Hosted by the University of Washington, the mission of AMTAS is to bring academia, industry, and government agencies together to develop solutions to problems associated with existing, near- and long-term applications of composites through a multifaceted program comprising:
- Research, testing, certification, and technology transfer
- Coordination with the Federal Aviation Administration, standards organizations, OEMs, material suppliers, and airline companies
- Workforce education
A list of current and past projects.
Current Projects:
- Characterizing Mechanical Property Variability in Ti6Al4V produced by Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) Additive Manufacturing
- Correlation of ULTEM 9085 Physical, Chemical, and Mechanical Properties
- Nanomechanical Characterization of Adhesive Bondlines
- Safety and Certification of Discontinuous Fiber Composite Structures
