A Math-Based Methodology for Fatigue Longevity Prediction of 3D Woven Fiberglass Reinforced Vinyl-ester Composites (.pdf)
In the DOE-Delphi Composite Chassis Cross-Member program, 3TEX 3Weave (3D woven fiberglass mat)/vinyl-ester (Dion 9800) composites have been investigated as a candidate material. One of the most important mechanical properties for qualifying these composites for such applications is the mechanical...
Case Study: Vibratory Tray Feeder
The difficulty with feeding longfiber. fiberglass is that it has a. very high aspect ratio," says. Charles Weber, president of Composite. Products Inc. (CPI), Winona,. Minn. "It's like trying to feed a bunch. of toothpicks into a machine at an. even feedrate. Our fiberglass is comprised...
