The hybrid-composite rear load floor uses unidirectional (UD) thermoplastic tapes plus direct-long-fiber thermoplastic (D-LFT) composites. Thermoplastic tapes provided high stiffness/strength in a ...

When engineers at General Dynamics Armament and Technical Products (GDATP) recently designed the ammunition container for a new aircraft weapon system, they decided very early in the process to make ...

Compression molding involves forming of complex shaped components by molding of a charge of fiber reinforced prepreg bulk molding compound (BMC) under heat and high pressures. Unidirectional fiber ...

Producing plastic parts that are stronger than steel is the technical expertise of Global Polymer (Madison, SD), a compression molder that has earned a reputation for delivering innovative solutions ...

The new composites are designed as alternatives to thermoset sheet molding compounds (SMCs). Offering similar mechanical performance, they are much more ductile and, as thermoplastic systems, much ...

However, for a statement on the properties of the final component, the local material properties, such as resin/matrix composition, pore content, fibre content, distribution and orientation, are ...

System-in-Package (SiP) technology has been used for a wide range of electronic devices, but the warpage behavior of the package can be difficult to control and predict due to complex manufacturing ...
