Composite materials have their microstructure designed in terms of their macroscopic constituents, e.g. fibers in a homogeneous matrix material. By controlling the choice of fibers, their volume ...

Once the theory is understood, [Adam] sets out to create a composite material with the best of both worlds – combining an aluminium base for stiffness and strength, with epoxy composite as a damper.

A Dutch company has built a 3D printed bridge using an old wind turbine blade showcasing a new way to reuse materials in ...

Estimating composite material properties can be computationally expensive and time-consuming. Researchers propose a Reduced Basis Homogenisation Method (RBHM) to enhance homogenisation based on a ...

110,000 The number of tonnes of fibre-reinforced composites produced in the UK each year – more than twice the weight of the Forth Rail Bridge. 6% The proportion of fibre-reinforced polymer composite ...

Agenda: Why AI-powered QA for composite manufacturing? Black-on-black detection capabilities Precise placement verification Instant foreign object detection Seamless integration with the LAP ecosystem ...

Composite materials are made from two or more different types of material. For example, MDF is made from wood fibres and glue, and fibreglass is made from a mesh of glass fibres set in a tough ...
