Given the importance of residual stresses and dimensional changes in composites manufacturing, process simulation has been the focus of many studies in recent years. Consequently, various constitutive ...

Recent advances in composite plate material characterisation have significantly enhanced our ability to assess and predict the performance of engineered materials under complex loading scenarios. By ...

Continuous Composites, which recently secured multi-million-dollar funding from the US Air Force to advance the development of high-performance materials using its CF3D® technology, has also been ...

The award, titled “CAREER: Multiscale Reduced Order Modeling and Design to Elucidate the Microstructure-Property-Performance Relationship of Hybrid Composite Materials,” will allow Zhang’s team at the ...

Danfoss Power Solutions (Ames, Iowa, U.S.) wanted to reduce cost and lead time challenges with a machined aluminum bracket by redesigning it to use carbon fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) made with its ...

As product development teams face increasingly complex challenges — including the need for greater sustainability — there’s a growing awareness of the critical contributions made by materials. Many of ...

Composite-part designs are likely to work better if they are simulated first. Prabhakar Vallury, Ph.D., Director of Business Development, e-Xstream Engineering; Roger Assaker, Ph.D., Chief Material ...

The use of fiber-reinforced composites in Type 3, 4 and linerless Type 5 pressure vessels is growing, used to store compressed/renewable natural gas (CNG/RNG) and hydrogen as part of the global ...
