Need to shape miniature, hard-to-machine parts with three-dimensional micro and meso scale features? Test results at Georgia Institute of Technology show that mechanical micro machining can still be ...

Fiber-reinforced composite wing components, commonly stacked with aluminum and titanium, can challenge the machining process, including cutting tool security and final surface quality. Source (All ...

In order to detect defects in the surfaces of dry fabric and composite prepreg, this new vision-based tactile sensor roller prototype, TacRoller, is a three-colour reflective membrane roller-shape ...

Composite materials are engineered by fusing different materials, typically consisting of a matrix (a polymer, metal, or ceramic) and a reinforcement (such as fibers, particles, or flakes) that ...
