This pattern represents part-whole hierarchies of objects such that the consumers or the clients can treat the objects and also the compositions of objects in a uniform manner Design patterns are ...

Composite panel products made in North America are among the greenest building materials in the world. Composite wood panels, including medium density fiberboard (MDF), particleboard, hardboard and ...

One common misconception is that belts will slip more frequently on composite pulleys than on metal pulleys. Not so! The wedging action of V-belts is so efficient that slip should never be an issue; ...

The global transition toward creating a greener and more environmentally friendly society requires transmission system operators (TSOs) to consider refining their ...

Steps are currently being taken to move towards large primary structures, e.g. integrally-stiffened skin panels. New materials, innovative design concepts and aeronautics are key innovation factors.

Researchers have developed a scheme for AI-assisted design of fiber reinforced composite (FRC) structures with spatially varying optimal fiber sizes, making FRCs more lightweight without compromising ...

Addcomposites Oy, a Finnish composite manufacturing automation company, launched a comprehensive suite of free, browser-based composite design software that removes traditional cost barriers ...

Composite beams have become an integral element in modern structural engineering, combining dissimilar materials to exploit their complementary mechanical properties. This field of study encompasses ...

The need to integrate renewable energy resources, and prepare for increased demand for power as electrification takes hold in transportation and other sectors, creates challenges for an aging grid.

When demanding applications call for unique solutions, composite materials are often the answer. Such was the case for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), working with the Bonneville Power Admin ...
