Carbon nanotubes are a strong and lightweight material with high electrical conductivity, which could potentially surpass the performance of existing carbon fibers. However, producing fibers with ...

This fibre has a linear density of 725 g/km (tex) with a filament diameter of 6.5 micrometres. The higher yield provides increased productivity during the carbon fibre composite conversion process ...

For transverse loading of the composite, the components experience the same stress and for this isostress situation the total transverse strain of the composite is just the sum of the fiber strain and ...

A composite material is constructed from two or more components that are used as seperate phases, and combine in the final material to yield properties that exploit features of the components. In ...

There are some aviation observers who predict composites and titanium will rule the roost when it comes to aerospace airframes and structures. But that seems rather unlikely. Aluminum is still ...

PhD researcher, Sully Khan, spent eight weeks at Volkswagen's research centre in Wolfsburg, Germany, with a view to obtaining accurate Young's modulus measurements for various samples. Sully Khan ...
