‘Composites’
An Engineeringtalk guide
Start with the news release
Vistagy composite engineering for Bombardier from
Vistagy, which we summarised at the time by saying "Vistagy has been selected by Bombardier Aerospace to provide the FiberSIM software suite as the standard composite engineering solution for all aircraft programmes at Bombardier. ".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Designing joints and structural adhesives from
ITW Plexus: "Sally Sinai, technical manager of ITW Plexus, considers the issues that should be considered before designing joints to be bonded together with structural adhesives.".
In November 2009, we covered the news from Zouch Converters
- take a look at Zouch foamed acrylic tapes are visco-elastic
which says: "Zouchmount EHB tapes are 100 per cent closed-cell foamed acrylic tapes.".
Take a look also at the news release from Vistagy, Vistagy announces composites design environment,
as well as SKF systems boost uptime of Isis neutron choppers from SKF UK,
and Delcam seminar addresses composites in aerospace from Delcam.
