Also composite materials are useful in construction of aerospace structures. Aircraft parts made from composite materials, such as fairings, spoilers, and flight controls, were developed during the 1960s for th
Another development of C/C composite was for aircraft disk brakes. There is however a severe limitation in the development of such materials since carbon reacts with oxygen at temperature below 500°C which will induce damage and rapid destruction of the composite. The lifetime in air of a C...
Name any two types of solid-state welding used in the manufacture of products.State the three types of biomass resources used for the generation of energy.1) What are the properties of Plastics, 2) Differences between Composite Materials and modern material 3) Processing and shaping and its app...
According to the electrical properties of rubber materials, they can be classified into insulation type and non-insulation type. Thermal insulation rubber is mainly used in aerospace, weapons, and equipment used in the power tube, integrated block, heat pipe and other equipment, as well as micro...
This chapter provides an overview of the common types of defects found in various structural materials and joints in aircraft. Materials manufacturing methods (including large-scale production) have been established in the aircraft industry. However, as will be seen in this chapter, manufacturing defec...
Heat sinks are essential components used to dissipate heat from electronic devices, ensuring optimal performance and preventing overheating. They come in two primary types: Active Heat Sinks and Passive Heat Sinks, each designed for specific applications and operating conditions. Active Heat Sinks: ...
It is affordable and economical. It is very cheap to purchase as compared to other materials which may be used for example in the construction industry, not only is it cheap, it also requires almost zero maintenance, meaning that maintenance costs will be eliminated. ...
Aerial photography is a type of photography that involves capturing images from above, typically by using an aircraft, drone or balloon. This type of photography can be used for various purposes, from capturing stunning landscapes to surveying construction sites. ...
3D printing can be used to create custom part designs using a wide range of materials at no additional cost. By contrast, every custom design made using traditional production methods requires changes to their tooling configuration which takes time. In some cases, even new tooling needs to be ...
Semi-metallic gaskets are composites of metallic and non-metallic materials. The metallic component provides structural strength and increased toughness, while the non-metallic part offers enhanced sealing. Metallic gaskets are used for extremely high pressure and temperature applications. In selecting a ...
