Compared to metals such as aluminum and steel, the number of stiffness and strength properties associated with polymer matrix composites (PMCs) is extensive. For metals, these mechanical properties ...
Prepreg tack testing refers to measuring the “stickiness” of thermoset composite prepreg materials used to fabricate composite structures. These prepregs consist of a thin layer of fiber reinforcement ...

Many composite structures are assembled with mechanically fastened (“bolted”) joints. Structural analysis of these attachments requires a linked set of design properties that are generated by D30 test ...
The iX-600 portable inspection system from UNX Technologies provides contactless inspection of multilayer composites, even for large surfaces. It uses image processing to detect weak points that are ...
The Naval Research Laboratory robotic materials testing system, NRL66.3, has achieved, to date, the highest industrial rates of fully-automated production mode functionality known to NRL researchers, ...
This is a particular problem for smaller aircraft manufacturers who have neither the budget to develop the required databases, nor access to those generated by larger organizations, often in support ...
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- Researcher David Moore holds a rectangle of hard carbon composite material, smooth with a faint woven pattern on its surface. The sample shows normal wear and tear until he turns ...
