Kevlar ’s structure consists of relatively rigid molecules‚ which tend to form sheet-like structures that have similarities to silk proteins. Kevlar can be used by itself or as part as o composite material to give added strength. It is best known for its use in bullet proof vests and knife proof body armour. It is also used for reinforcement in car tires‚ car brakes‚ strings of archery bows‚ and also in car‚ boat and aircraft bodies. Kevlar is used in the aircraft Apache

primarily discusses results obtained from the conducted experiments and includes computed data from the Kingston computer program. The value of the plastic moment capacity of each experiment was obtained; Obtained value was used to find the yield strength of the structures and compare them to typical values for mild steel. The important data is summarized in a table; followed by a list of important formulae. All individual results are listed in the appendix at the end. NISHANT AGARWAL The

replace cold rolled steel as purlins or girts. If GRFP is utilized‚ the portal frame section can be design to consume less steel because GFRP is light weight. Since it has a very high strength to weight ratio‚ being light weight‚ GFRP does not make it loose its strength. Regardless‚ this material still possesses less strength compared to steel. This material is also environment and corrosion resistance‚ so when used as purlins or girts member‚ it will not rust when get in contact with rain water. The energy

carried 20% of carbon and the properties of it were inefficient‚ such as low strength and stiffness ("Carbon (fiber) ‚n.d." ). In the early 1960s the process of Carbon fiber was developed by Dr. Akio Shindo at Agency Of Industrial Science and Technology of Japan‚ which improved carbon fiber and contained 50% of carbon ("Carbon (fiber)‚ n.d." ). In 1963‚ the properties of carbon fiber were acknowledged‚ such as high strength‚ by W. Watt‚ L.N. Philips and W. Johnson at the Royal Aircraft Establishment

Abstract This report is to highlight the methods‚ results and theory relevant during an engineering experiment called “cold rolling of metals". The purpose of this report is to show how readings obtained from the set-out experiment‚ can be evaluated to determine the behavior of 3 selected materials; Brass‚ Copper and Aluminium through the process of cold rolling. The form of the materials are in small strips which are processed via cold-rolling method 4 times from their original state to evaluate

experimental work to find alternative raw materials led to the introduction of carbon fibers made from a petroleum pitch derived from oil processing. These fibers contained about 85% carbon and had excellent flexural strength. Unfortunately‚ they had only limited compression strength and were not widely accepted. The raw material used to make carbon fiber is called the precursor. About 90% of the carbon fibers produced are made from polyacrylonitrile (PAN). The remaining 10% are made from rayon
