Through-the-thickenss tensile strength testing using a curved beam The in-plane strength properties of a composite material, axial and transverse tension and compression and in-plane shear, are ...

With the grant, Hillman successfully tested a 30-ft-long, 17-ft-wide span comprising eight beams in Pueblo, Colo., in 2008. It supported a full-size locomotive pulling 26 heavy-axle-load coal cars.

The composite part is produced from organo sheet made from a continuous glass fiber and PA66 laminate. This is shaped into the beam in a heating and forming process in which the material crystallizes.

Radar technology factors in the beam’s angle and the Earth’s curvature in its calculations to determine the location of the objects it detects, according to Jessica Schultz, deputy director of ...

The latest development project between CompoTech PLUS (Sušice, Czechia) and Bilsing Automation (Attendorn, Germany) has produced a new carbon fiber composite end of arm tooling (EOAT) on a six-axis ...
