Terms
This general term describes any material created by combining two or more existing individual materials together.
What is a composite material?
This high-flying industry uses carbon fiber in many of its applications.
What is aerospace or space?
This is one reason why carbon fiber composites are used in FSAE.
What is reducing weight or increasing stiffness?
Apart from body components like the wings, nosecone, and sidepods, composites are also used to manufacture these structural suspension links.
What are A-arms and rods?
Students on the team use this professional CAD software by Siemens, a highly marketable skill listed on LinkedIn for corporate engineering roles.
What is Siemens NX?
Apart from body components like the wings, nosecone, and sidepods, composites are also used to manufacture these structural suspension links.
What are A-arms and rods?
In the team's carbon fiber setups, this specific substance acts as the polymer matrix, while the strands of carbon serve as the reinforcement.
What is epoxy resin?
As part of our summer plans, some team members will design this type of structural composite part specifically to compete in a SAMPE event.
What is a bridge or SAMPE composite bridge?
This composite software tool is listed as a primary learning objective for our team's summer plans to assist with ply layout and manufacturing simulation.
What is Fibersim?
