By evaluating the attributes of structural thermosets early in the design process, custom formulations can be created that take advantage of key material properties for a specific application. § High strength/weight, High stiffness/weight. "It's something they "Instead of merely printing a picture of the design, they are able to 'print' an actual production part for use in an automobile, jet engine, operating room or other application," Hughes said. Higher volumetric heat generation is anticipated while miniaturizing electronics in engineering applications. The inner liner in this new FRP cargo tanker design for handling corrosive liquids has the first "DuraShield" carbon fiber continuity system for checking the liner integrity. In 1992, the Viper sports car won the SPI Composite Institute's Counterpoise Grand Design award for highest achievement in the use of composite materials. After several years of development and application, it was found that ordinary WPC wood, less rigid, and compared with the plastic material, surface finish, there are also more obvious gap in the process at the same time, there are still some problems. By Larry Landis, Director of Technology and Quality, IDI Composites International and Don Sage, Senior Product Engineer, Owens Corning Here's an in-dept. Phase Change Material Composite Heat Sinks. This book is unique in that it not only offers a current analysis of mechanics and properties, but also examines the latest advances in test methods, applications, manufacturing processes, and design aspects involving composites. § Certification: Proof of design. "Prototyping is touchy-feely, and it gives customers a model rather than a complicated engineering design," said Jared Stonecash, an engineer in composites manufacturing and testing at the University of Dayton Research Institute (UDRI) in Ohio. The University of Maine's Advanced Structures and Composites Center welcomed more than 500 students from 60 Maine schools to the DeepCWind Consortium's 3rd Annual Windstorm Challenge and the 5th Annual Maine Composites Alliance Wind Windstorm Challenge asks teams of middle and high school students to design and construct a floating platform for a scale model wind turbine, and deliver a business plan and sales pitch to a panel of expert judges. § Extensive testing for reliable data. Summary: The newly expanded and revised edition of Fiber-Reinforced Composites: Materials, Manufacturing, and Design presents the most up-to-date resource available on state-of-the-art composite materials. To show its commitment to the growing importance of lightweight design in the automotive industry, in mid-2011 BASF established a lightweight composites team.
