Structural Laminate Composites for Space Applications
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The creation of reliable structural laminate composites for space applications requires precision design and manufacturing using an integrated, concurrent engineering approach. Since the final material characteristics are established at the same time the part or subassembly is fabricated, part design, fabrication development, and material characterization must proceed concurrently. Because composite materials are custom-tailored to meet structural requirements of the assembly, stringent in-process controls are required to arrive at a configuration with optimum physical and material properties.

Influence of Circular and Square Cut-outs on Fiber Glass/Epoxy Composite Laminate under Tensile Loading
Use of composites for a range of structural application in aircrafts, space-crafts, automobiles, etc., has widely spread in the last few years. Other than weight reduction, cut-outs provide pathways to link different aircraft parts. In this paper, an experimental investigation was conducted to study the effect of a cut-out on the tensile strength of the fiber glass/ epoxy composite plate. Geome...
متن کاملMultiscale composite optimization with design guidelines
Composites show two distinctive features that affect the way in which they are optimized. Firstly, manufacturing strongly interacts with structural performance. Secondly, composites can be described at different scales. This article summarizes contributions that address both features. It is shown how design guidelines can be accounted for in laminate blended design through stacking sequence tab...
