Engineers at the National Composites Centre (NCC) have completed a European first by manufacturing Ceramic Matrix Composites (CMCs) using Automated Fibre Placement (AFP) technology, paving the way for ...
Ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) have emerged as a critical class of materials for demanding high-temperature applications due to their unique combination of properties, including: However, ...
OTOMcomposite (Enschede, Netherlands) is a startup that provides engineering services and software for automated fiber placement (AFP), laser-assisted tape placement (LATP) and laser-assisted tape ...
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 ...
President, Wyoming Test Fixtures Inc. In addition to providing increased strength properties, fiber-reinforced CMCs exhibit markedly improved toughness and damage tolerance compared to traditional ...
A research project undertaken by the Bristol Composites Institute (BCI) at the University of Bristol used laser profile sensors from Micro-Epsilon to detect defects formed during the composites ...
Metal-matrix composites are either in use or prototyping for the Space Shuttle, commercial airliners, electronic substrates, bicycles, automobiles, golf clubs, and a variety of other applications.
This article was updated May 11, 2023. It was originally published June 1, 2017. Engineers often design structures and components out of metals such as steel and aluminum because of their strength and ...
A quarter-century ago, the Department of Energy began a program to support U.S. development of ceramic matrix composites. In 2016 a new aircraft engine became the first widely deployed CMC-containing ...
