Lightweight components made from fiber-reinforced plastics make wind turbines more efficient, sports cars faster and aircraft stronger. At ThyssenKrupp too, promising areas of application are opening up for carbon fiber-reinforced plastics (CFRP), for example through multi-material designs in combination with innovative steel solutions.
Springer and the National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS) in Japan will partner to publish a new book series NIMS Monographs.
The series will publish titles on major and advanced research themes of the research i...
The Irish Centre for Composites Research (IComp) at the University of Limerick has been granted over €1million in research funding by Enterprise Ireland’s Commercialisation Fund for 3rd Level Researchers. The grant will fund three different research projects – all connected with composite material applications.
Merseyside based composite hose manufacturer Dantec is reporting a trebling of sales in the marine sector over the last 12 months.
DEStech Publications, Inc. announces the publication of Volume 4: Failure in Composites, edited by Dr. Anthony Waas and Dr. Bhavani Sankar. Dr. Michael Hyer is the managing editor.
To date, it has been very laborious to manufacture fiber-reinforced composites with a thermoplastic matrix in large quantities. On the one hand, the textile-like dense continuous fiber-reinforced structures are difficult to shape, on the other, joining the continuous fibers with a highly viscous thermoplastic matrix material is a highly complex process. To date, there is no economically profitable production technology for large-volume component series.
This book is structured around new experiments and modeling of fatigue and its effects across a variety of composite materials.
Instron, a leading provider of testing equipment solutions designed to evaluate mechanical properties of materials and components, introduces the BioCoat: a polyurethane protective cover designed for Instron® Series 5940 single column testing systems.
MassDOT and the Massachusetts Department of Conservation Resources chose Composite Advantage LLC’s FiberSPAN™ Fiber Reinforced Polymer bridge deck for Boston’s largest pedestrian and bicyclist bridge project to date. CA’s composite bridge deck is an integral component of North Bank Bridge, a new 690-ft. structure that links Cambridge and Charlestown, Mass., and provides access to the Charles River parklands; just across the river from downtown Boston.
SCRA today announced the production of a composite art bar, produced in conjunction with the New York-based design firm FXFOWLE. The serving bar was manufactured in South Carolina and installed at the Miami Project and demonstrates the many possibilities for recycled materials and modern design. The Miami Project is a contemporary and modern art fair being held December 4-9, 2012. It coincides with the 11th annual Art Basel Miami Beach, a premier international art show, as well as the 23rd annual Art Miami.
