In order to detect defects in the surfaces of dry fabric and composite prepreg, this new vision-based tactile sensor roller prototype, TacRoller, is a three-colour reflective membrane roller-shape ...
Composite materials have revolu­tionised a wide range of industries, including aerospace and automotive, offering unrivalled strength, lightness and design flexibility compared to more conventional ...
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 ...
UD's Center for Composite Materials reflects on a legacy of innovation and charts a course for the next half-century ...
How do you decide on the “right” fastener type for a component or assembly involving composite and plastic materials in a time-efficient way? To define which materials and concepts a fastener type is ...
Composites have been produced for millennia. The first known use of them dates back to around 3400 BC when the Mesopotamians used glued wood strips at angles to create plywood. Other early examples ...
New process addresses a current environmental challenge in the transportation and energy sectors. The method is the first of its kind, reclaiming high-value materials from both the carbon fiber fabric ...
