CarbonTT’s quadraxial NCF composite chassis adds 185-kilogram capacity to Borco Höhns’ 3.5-ton Fiat Ducato market vehicle.

As part of the ongoing studies to apply CFRP to series production vehicle body, a new material and method of fabrication have been developed to reduce cost and improve productivity. One issue, however ...

Composite materials such as carbon fiber-reinforced plastics (CFRP) are excellent for lightweight construction and are used, among other things, in automotive and aircraft construction. To ...

The boundaries contain raw materials extraction and manufacturing (epoxy, carbon fiber, glass fiber, sand, gravel, seawater/desalinated water, cement, and CFRP/GFRP/steel bars) for the RC beams and ...

This enables DLR to map the entire CFRP engineering process chain - from material to automated production. With unique, multifunctional large-scale facilities, the ZLP develops strategies for the cost ...

CFRP composites often face high temperatures ... could handle before showing signs of strain or breaking. During this process, FBG sensors embedded in the plates monitored internal changes ...

In this paper, a novel hybrid AM technique is employed to manufacture SS composite materials containing bisphenol A-based epoxy core and carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) face sheets that are ...
