Widespread in aerospace, laminated fiber-reinforced polymer matrix composites are also increasingly used in other sectors, including the automotive industry. The identification of optimal cutting ...

Fiber-reinforced composite wing components, commonly stacked with aluminum and titanium, can challenge the machining process, including cutting tool security and final surface quality. Source (All ...

Polymer matrix composites (PMCs) are made by reinforcing a polymer-based matrix with glass, carbon, or aramid fibers. PMCs are classified into thermosetting and thermoplastic resins based on the type ...

One technology that is currently directly available is coprocessing in cement manufacturing. This offers a unique waste management solution, where the material is simultaneously used as both a highly ...

The first all-composite brake pedals developed by Boge Rubber & Plastics Group using a bespoke production process meet or exceed the challenging performance specs required of metals at nearly half the ...

In a win for chemistry, inventors have designed a closed-loop path for synthesizing an exceptionally tough carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer and later recovering all of its starting materials. In a win ...

Lightweight, high-strength polymer composites are essential to modern engineering. Yet their manufacturing remains complex, slow, and often reliant on manual adjustments. In a forward-looking analysis ...

These models can be used either offline to provide the optimal process cycle, or online to provide optimal, real-time process control [3]. This is the target of the iREMO project (www.iremo.eu), an EC ...

ORNL's new 3D printing tool uses thermal cameras and AI to automatically fix production errors while printing large composite ...

Researchers from the University of Bath's Department of Mechanical Engineering have shown that agricultural waste from ...
