This is Part A
of a two-part program on Composite Materials.
See Part B
Topics:
| Hand Lay Up - Introductory |
Huon Class Mine Hunter |
| Theory of Composite Materials |
Vacuum Bagging |
| Open Mould Chopped Roving |
Vacuum Bagged Pre-Pregs |
The video examines the physical
properties of composites based on E glass, Aramid
and carbon fibre reinforcements.
The program covers three methods
of fabrication – hand lay up of a simple
shape, resin/glass depositor gun used in the
production of truck bonnets, and vacuum bagging
of a competition catamaran hull and modern airliner
rudder. Also shown is the use of resin impregnating
machines in the making of the Huon class mine
hunter.
Content would benefit 1) beginners who need
to know basics of several technologies, 2) engineering
students interested in the composite manufacturing
processes, 3) new employees of composite processing
companies, 4) practicing design engineers who
are considering moving into design of composite
articles, 5) high schools/vocational schools
and community colleges for use in a manufacturing
overview course, and, 6) marketing personnel.
The video covers thermoset processing only.
(This product was reviewed and approved by members
of SPE’s Composites Division.)
The double CD pack of each program
has been specially designed for the teaching
situation and induction of staff into the workplace.
One CD is a VCD of the program playable on a
DVD player. The second CD consists of the script
and a PowerPoint presentation of the computer
graphics ideal for class notes and lecture theatre
plus an Mpeg version of the program ideal for
the office situation. These features are all
self-installing.
Video was a collaborative effort
by Monash University, Composites Institute of
Australia, Inc., Cooperative Research Centre
for Advanced Composite Structures, Ltd., Institute
of Materials Engineering Australasia, Ltd.,
and the Dept. of Industry, Science & Technology,
AusIndustry, Business Victoria. Produced by
Double D Technical Productions.
