The technology will offer supportless DIW of complex structures using vinyl ester resin, facilitated by multidirectional 6 axis printing.
Efficient thermal management in polymers is essential for developing lightweight, high-strength materials with multifunctional capabilities.
We have developed a novel extrusion-based 3D printing technique that can achieve a resolution of 0.51 mm layer thickness, and catalyst loading of 44% and 90.5% before and after drying, respectively.
The disclosure is directed to optimized fiber geometries for use in carbon fiber reinforced polymers with increased compressive strength per unit cost. The disclosed fiber geometries reduce the material processing costs as well as increase the compressive strength.
Wind turbine blades face a harsh environment in which erosion of the leading edge is a major factor for in-use maintenance. Current industrial practices to address this leading edge erosion are replacement of reinforcing materials upon significant damage infliction.
A pressure burst feature has been designed and demonstrated for relieving potentially hazardous excess pressure within irradiation capsules used in the ORNL High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR).
Through utilizing a two function splice we can increase the splice strength for opposing tows.
