unusual facts about composites


Pro-Composites

By 2010 operations had been moved to Waukegan Regional Airport, near Chicago, with its business address at Buffalo Grove, Illinois.


ANTEX-M

Another program, under the same name, was established in partnership with the Technical Institute (IST) of the University of Lisbon for the development of a remotely-controlled vehicle for flight testing new aeronautical composites and materials.

Composite portrait

He also suggested in a Royal Society presentation in 1883 that the composites provided an interesting concrete representation of human ideal types and concepts.

Griddle

The vast majority of commercial grade griddles are made from A36 steel, though some are composed of stainless steel or even composites of aluminum and stainless steel.

J. N. Reddy

He has made significant seminal contributions in the specific areas of finite element method, plate theory, solid mechanics, variational methods, mechanics of composites, functionally graded materials, fracture mechanics, plasticity, biomechanics, classical and non-Newtonian fluid mechanics, and applied functional analysis.

LeMond Racing Cycles

The following year, searching for an equipment edge for Team Z at the 1991 Tour de France, LeMond concluded an exclusive licensing agreement between his company and Carbonframes, Inc., to access the latter's advanced composites technology.

Machining

Machining is a part of the manufacture of many metal products, but it can also be used on materials such as wood, plastic, ceramic, and composites.

Matrix molding

This process is often used for complex shapes using composites such as with glass and glass/ceramic composites.

Mineralized tissues

The composites made by this sequential deposition technique do not have a segmented layered microstructure.

Pradeep Rohatgi

The initial discovery of the synthesis of cast aluminum matrix composites including Al-graphite, Al-SiC, and Al-International Nickel Company in Suffern, New York.

Radical polymerization

Free radical polymerization is a key synthesis route for obtaining a wide variety of different polymers and material composites.

Roger Naslain

Dr. Naslain is the author or co-author of more than 300 articles, co-author of 17 patents, and editor or co-editor of eight books on composite materials and four special issues of scientific journals devoted to ceramic-matrix composites.

Professor Naslain and his colleagues designed and experimentally validated the Chemical Vapor Infiltration (CVI) process, one of the very few techniques used in the world to manufacture large parts from C/SiC and SiC/SiC composites for aerospace applications.

Rotary Rocket

The pilot for these three flights was Marti Sarigul-Klijn and the copilot was Brian Binnie (who later gained fame as pilot of Scaled Composites' SpaceShipOne on its second X-Prize flight).

Rotortec Cloud Dancer II

The aircraft fuselage and the three vertical surface tail are made from aluminum and Kevlar composites.

Solid Concepts

They moved into CNC machining, Selective Laser Sintering, and composites within a few years after opening, and have since gained PolyJet, Z-Corp 3D Colored Printing, Fused Deposition Modeling, Direct Metal Laser Sintering, urethanes and tooling and injection molding processes.

United States Army Research Laboratory

Metallic materials are engineered to increase strength and decrease corrosion through the use of composites.

Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre

The centre pursues research and development in a host of distinct technology domains including Aeronautics, Avionics, Composites, etc. primarily for the purpose of advancing launch vehicle technology.

Zyvex Technologies

Their Engineered Solutions team develops special applications of nano-materials in composites.
