Aluminum composite materials (ACMs) are lightweight sandwich panels increasingly deployed as exterior cladding or facade materials for buildings across residential, commercial and transport sectors. With a thermoplastic core laminated between two thin aluminum sheets, these panels deliver an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio coupled with vibration damping, weather and chemical resistance benefits suited for sustainable and resilient…
Composites are highly adaptable and can be made use in various applications. As they are robust, stiffer, lighter than metal and moldable to any shape. They can also be tailored to meet required properties of a particular application. Fiberglass or Glass fiber composites (GFC) are one kind of fiber reinforced composites material with low density,…
A composite is a material engineered from two or more materials with different physical or chemical properties. Composites classification is generally done based on the material used for the matrix. In the field of civil engineering, the classification of composite materials plays a crucial role in understanding their applications and selection for various construction projects….
An aircraft is made of several components. Though it takes off and flies as a single flight. Yet it comprises numerous components separable and continuous as a single independent aircraft. Composite structure makes the 787 dreamliner light and strong. It also reduces the cost of components made. Picking up or choosing a material for aircraft…
Composite materials have played a predominant role throughout human lives. From early civilization to enabling future innovations. A composite is a material obtained by amalgamation of two or more distinct materials to achieve a material with enhanced properties compared to the parent materials. These two or more different materials are quite dissimilar in toughness, compression…
