WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — A new artificial intelligence platform has been launched to help users more quickly develop composite materials and structures without requiring in-depth technical jargon or ...

Electron diffraction is a powerful analytical technique used to study the atomic structure of materials. It involves the interaction of a beam of electrons with a crystalline sample, resulting in a ...

The Clean Aviation HERWINGT project is developing a novel, ultra-high performance wing for a hybrid-electric regional aircraft, including thermoplastic composites (TPC) and morphing composite wing ...

In an approach they call 'nanostitching,' engineers used carbon nanotubes to prevent cracking in multilayered composites. The advance could lead to next-generation airplanes and spacecraft. To save on ...

Composite materials are widely used in the E20 airframe. In order to ensure structural reliability, the composite materials structure and the design strength were verified through full-scale tests.

One of the primary achievements of the 787 Dreamliner design is its monocoque fuselage, which has internally integrated ...

This schematic shows an engineered material with composite layers. Layers of carbon fibers (the long silver tubes) have microscopic forests of carbon nanotubes between them (the array of tiny brown ...
