Composite Structures: A Positive Transformation with Multiaxial 3D Woven and Stitched Manufacturing

Introduction Composite Structures | Last few decades, extensive research and structural engineering interest have been moving from monolithic materials to fibre-reinforced polymeric materials. The current trend of research in the aerospace and automotive industry is to develop advanced composites using low cost “out-of-autoclave” manufacturing techniques, to produce components with high structural integrity and high delamination …

Thermal conductivity of fiber-reinforced polymer composites

Thermal conductivity of materials, such as laminates, carbon fibers, ceramics, composites, and alloys, is often tested both in-plane and through-thickness to describe the various types of materials. The thermal resistance of interfaces, multi-layer materials, and thin-film materials, as well as the thermal resistance of bonded and attached connections, including IC chips bonded to heat sink …
