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 ...

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 ...

Hybrid unbonded flexible pipes with integrated reinforcement layers made of thermoplastic composites are a key technology for the efficient recovery and transport of hydrocarbons at water depths of ...

Laminated fiber-reinforced composite materials are being used in more and more engineering applications. These materials have excellent strength-to-weight ratios and the manufacturing processes that ...

In a previous article we reviewed rapid forming of thermoplastic composites (TPC). In the second part of this three-part series, we’ll explore the thermal processes and how these can be managed, ...

In the effort to drive down costs in all areas of the aircraft life cycle, lightweight materials such as composites are being used to produce innovative designs, reduced manufacturing and assembly ...
