DR. CONWAY has produced a book that should be valuable to both students and designers dealing with aircraft structures, but its title is misleading. It is entirely a work on the theory of structures, ...
A team of Chinese scientists from Guangzhou University's School of Materials Science and Engineering has unveiled a new porous ceramic with unprecedented strength and insulation capabilities, poised ...
As light as possible and as strong as possible at the same time. These are the requirements for modern lightweight materials, such as those used in aircraft construction and the automotive industry. A ...
A research team led by the University of Toronto in Canada has announced that they have used machine learning to design a lightweight yet strong nanostructured material. It is expected that using this ...
Scientists of the Institute of Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science and Transport of Saratov State Technical University named after Gagarina Yu.A. created an innovative die tool of increased ...
This second installment of a three-part look at the first 100 years of powered flight focuses on the materials used by aircraft pioneers and manufacturers. As always in engineering, the drive has been ...
What bio-composites could teach us about improved environmental performance? It may be hard to believe, but five decades ago, up to 70% of an aircraft was made of a single material: aluminium.
A TEST used to predict the lifetime of composite materials used in aircraft is critically flawed, a team of materials scientists is claiming. The lightness, strength and corrosion resistance of ...
