Abstract

The aim of this work is to describe the structural analysis of a multifunctional aircraft fuselage panel. The structure of the panel has an embedded antenna tiles. The panel consists of UniDirectional (UD) carbon fibre reinforced composite skin stiffened with ortho-grid ribs, and [...]

Abstract

Reducing the overall vehicle weight is an efficient, system-level approach to increase the drive range of electric vehicle, for which structural parts in auto-frame may be replaced by battery modules. Such battery modules must be structurally functional, e.g., energy absorbing, while [...]

Abstract

Carbon fibre reinforced composite materials show potential as energy storage components, due to the high electric conductivity of the carbon fibre. Supercapacitors store electrostatic energy over the electrode surface. [...]

Abstract

One of the weak points of the structures made of carbon fibre reinforced materials and thermosetting matrix is its mechanical impact behavior. In order to improve it, materials reinforced with carbon fiber and thermoplastic resin matrix are under study. In addition to the mechanical [...]

Abstract

Foam materials have characteristics that make them especially suitable for a multitude of technological applications. Currently, one of the most widespread techniques for the manufacture of foam materials consists of manufacturing a composite material formed by a matrix and inclusions [...]
