This e-Training Course aims at providing attendees with an up-to-date knowledge on methods for damping noise and vibration in the automotive and general transportation industries.

5 reasons to attend this online course:
Reason 1 Save time formulating and using sealants with a sound understanding of automotive performance and application requirements

Reason 2 Don't waste your time – Focus on most efficient noise and vibration damping strategies by learning from our industry expert

Reason 3 Ease design of winning solutions for the automotive industry by setting suitable sealant performance targets

Reason 4 Reduce revision and development time with optimal selection of materials and processes from start

Reason 5 Nurture your own noise and vibration damping ideas by interacting with Edward Petrie

COURSE TYPE: Formulation Essentials

Ideally suited for formulators and end-users of sealants in the automotive industry with a need to get up-to-speed or to refresh their knowledge on noise and vibration damping

Prerequisite: No previous experience / knowledge is necessary. A very basic understanding of adhesive and sealant materials and adhesion principles, however, may prove helpful.


WHAT YOU WILL TAKE AWAY FROM THIS COURSE:

Sealants that can reduce noise and vibration in addition to their primary function are highly valued in the automotive and general transportation industries. This is more and more often an added function required of modern sealants used in auto manufacture.

Attendees will acquire the fundamental knowledge to make the most out of automotive sealants. This includes:

  • Selection of the optimal material technology
  • Formulation strategy to strengthen noise and vibration damping performance
  • Joint design effect on performance


    • Early Registrants: Submit your specific needs when registering and let Edward Petrie help you find appropriate solutions.

    The following sections will be covered:

    1. Introduction
    2. Basic Requirements for Automotive Sealants
       –  Materials
       –  Joint Design
    3. Basics of Noise and Vibration Damping
    4. Types of Automotive Sealants for Damping Applications
    5. Common Sealant Joint Designs Employed in the Auto Industry
    6. Modern Cure Technology
    7. Current and Future Prospects

    At the end of the training there will be a Q&A Session where you can pose questions to Edward Petrie. A transcript of all the questions and answers will be made available after the event.

    Edward Petrie Edward Petrie
          Edward Petrie has been active in the adhesives industry for over 35 years – both in the formulation side and the end-use sides of the industry. He has a BS (Chemical Engineering) and MS (Polymer Science) degrees from Carnegie Mellon University and an MBA from Duquesne University.

    Throughout his industrial career, Mr. Petrie has been employed by two major global corporations (ABB and Westinghouse) as an internal consultant in adhesives and polymeric materials. In both corporations he was part of the Central Research Laboratories and assisted all of the divisions within the organization.

    His expertise includes material and process selection, testing, formulating, substrate preparation, and quality control with emphasis on the end-user application and performance requirements. Applications include structural as well as non-structural joining of all materials. Mr. Petrie is also an expert in joining polymeric materials by all methods including mechanical fastening, self-fastening, and heat and solvent welding.

    Mr. Petrie has authored over 100 papers on adhesives as well as the popular Handbook of Adhesives and Sealants (McGraw-Hill, October 2000) and Plastic Materials and Processes – A Concise Encyclopedia (John Wiley & Sons, August 2003). He has also given seminars and adhesives and adhesion to corporations, universities, and government organizations.

    Currently, Mr. Petrie is an independent consultant and sole proprietor of EMP Solutions. He is also Technical Advisor and Consultant to Specialchem4adhesive.com, an online service platform dedicated entirely to adhesives and sealants.
