The use of composite materials in aerospace manufacture is accelerating fast, with the most modern aircraft in the world's fleet now more than 50% composite materials. These new-generation aeroplanes are lighter, more fuel-efficient, and so more profitable, as well as significantly reducing CO2 emissions compared to traditional aluminium planes. However, ...

"The EB-Auto consortium is evaluating the material combination of basalt fibre combined with thermoplastic resin when processed using high rate processes for manufacturing of composite intermediate materials. It will establish the value proposition for this technology and a new offer for high rate affordable composites for the automotive sector. It has th...

To meet the future needs of the vehicle production industry ways of reducing CO2 are required. Improvements in powertrain are only able to meet a portion of this challenge, to deliver the complete reduction in CO2 required a massive weight reduction of current vehicles is required. This weight reduction also must be accomplished by without affecting the p...

The project will investigate how surface engineering of a 3 dimensionally reinforced fabric by chemical surface modification can impact the properties of the end composite form it is moulded into.

Ford Motor Company (Ford), Composite Metal Technology (CMT) and M Wright &Sons (MWS) are collaborating on an Innovate UK funded project to develop a new manufacturing process for the production of aluminium castings reinforced with inserts manufactured from long-fibre aluminium matrix composite (AMC) materials, providing localised reinforcement and facili...

Composite Metal Technology (CMT) and M.Wright &Sons (MWS) are collaborating on an Innovate UK funded project to accelerate the take-up of continuous fibre reinforced aluminium matrix composite materials (AMCs). The project is targetting a significant reduction in the piece cost of AMC inserts, and a shorter product development time for new component appli...

The BAM project researches the use of 3D woven composite material for application to aircraft structures and potentially for use in other sectors in particular the automotive sector. The expected benefits include lower weight structures and reduced manufacturing and assembly costs. The project also considers the design requirements and potential blockers ...

To develop a design methodology to relate weaving pattern and aspect ratio to mechanical performance for 3D carbon fibre pre-form reinforcements for structural 3D composites.

The overall vision is to develop a novel Autonomous Model Development Tool (AMDT) that will remove the failings of existing technology to fully represent the complex causal relationships within and between processes along complex and volatile production chains. This will involve the development of techniques that structure the causal relationships as auto...

This project has been conceived as Hybrid Vehicle OEMs using Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors (IGBT) controlled power electronics to control variable-frequency electric traction motors face challenges with electrical interference generated from the power cables in the data transmission and low-voltage control wiring, also affects the locality through wh...
