Imagine trying to design machines that will last forever, regardless of use or destination. Instead of those machines requiring a steady stream of spare parts (essentially impossible for space probes ...
Compared to traditional structural materials, polymer matrix composites (PMC) offer greatly enhanced performance and flexibility. However, these benefits come at the cost of increased material ...
Composite materials are engineered by fusing different materials, typically consisting of a matrix (a polymer, metal, or ceramic) and a reinforcement (such as fibers, particles, or flakes) that ...
“In state-of-the-art nonlinear composite microstructure modeling/design, computational costs have been identified as one of the major limiting factors, preventing the understanding of the ...
In an approach they call 'nanostitching,' engineers used carbon nanotubes to prevent cracking in multilayered composites. The advance could lead to next-generation airplanes and spacecraft. To save on ...
Composite materials are finding applications in many different fields, ranging from aerospace to automotive and construction. The properties of composites improve strength and stiffness and allow for ...
Aeroadhere FAE-350-1 Film Adhesive is a 350°F curing epoxy formulation based film adhesive product designed for composite-to-composite, composite-to-honeycomb, composite-to-metal, metal-to-metal and ...
Low CTE L-HDI Fabric Produced by JPS Composite Materials from AGY L-HDI Glass Fiber Yarn.
Mathematicians have found that they can design a range of composite materials from moiré patterns created by rotating and stretching one lattice relative to another. Their electrical and other ...
Advancements in technology, design tools, and manufacturing techniques are continually transforming the product development landscape. Digital prototyping and simulation are accelerating development ...
This is a particular problem for smaller aircraft manufacturers who have neither the budget to develop the required databases, nor access to those generated by larger organizations, often in support ...
