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 ...

In an operation somewhat resembling a reverse-motion assembly line, two 10-year-old Boeing 787-8s – the first of the type to be retired from commercial service – were recently reduced to a pair of ...

In an approach they call 'nanostitching,' engineers used carbon nanotubes to prevent cracking in multilayered composites. The advance could lead to next-generation airplanes and spacecraft. To save on ...

Thanks to their light weight yet remarkable strength, the use of CFRPs in the automobile, aerospace, and renewable energy industries is soaring. However, this means finding effective ways to recycle ...

Suhasini grew up in a remote village in India where her father worked as a mechanical engineer at an iron ore mine. She was surrounded by heavy equipment and large industrial structures. With this ...

In a recent article published in the journal Scientific Reports, researchers investigated the efficacy of two advanced composite materials—graphitic carbon nitride ...

As aerospace continues its pursuit of higher performance, lower weight, and improved lifecycle efficiency, metal-to composite component conversion is a key enabler of innovation. Whether in commercial ...

Composite materials, notably those reinforced with carbon or glass fibres, are increasingly utilised in engineering applications due to their high strength-to-weight ratio and durability. However, ...

Developing the next generation of composite materials, TFP, a James Cropper company, is excited to announce its participation at JEC World, the leading international composites show. At booth N40 in ...
