Subject field(s)
  • Plastics Industry
CONT

Boron composites have been used primarily by aircraft designers where the stiffness and low specific gravity are needed.

OBS

Boron fiber: fiber produced by vapor-deposition methods; used in various composite materials to impart a balance of strength and stiffness.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Industrie des plastiques
OBS

Bore : métal utilisé sous forme de filaments [...] et figurant parmi les renforts les plus performants dans le domaine des matériaux composites structuraux. Ces filaments sont obtenus par dépôt chimique en phase gazeuse [...]

English

Subject field(s)
  • Aeronautical Engineering and Maintenance
  • Aeroindustry
  • Plastics Manufacturing
CONT

The Dassault-Breguet Rafale will make extensive use of composite materials based on carbon, Kevlar or boron fibres ... This includes carbon-fibre reinforced composites (CFRC) for most of the wing and the whole of the front fuselage structure.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Aérotechnique et maintenance
  • Constructions aéronautiques
  • Plasturgie
CONT

Le Lear Fan 2100 est un appareil de conception révolutionnaire, dont la cellule (qui pèse 567 kg) est entièrement réalisée en matériau composite à fibres de carbone Thornel, ce qui permet d'obtenir un allégement de 40% par rapport à une structure métallique comparable.

Record 4 1996-07-17

English

Subject field(s)
  • Textiles: Preparation and Processing
  • Synthetic Fabrics
  • Strength of Materials
  • Aeronautical Engineering and Maintenance
CONT

Polymer, resin or other matrix-material system in which reinforcement is accomplished via high-strength, high-modulus materials in continuous filament form or in discontinuous form such as a staple fibers, fibrets, and in-situ dispersion.

OBS

carbon and graphite fibers offer high modulus and the highest strength of all reinforcing fibers.

CONT

High-modulus composite materials are not only lighter, but are much less radar-reflecting, which helps to reduce the aircraft radar signature.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Apprêt et traitements divers (Textiles)
  • Textiles artificiels et synthétiques
  • Résistance des matériaux
  • Aérotechnique et maintenance
OBS

Module : désigne une caractéristique mécanique d'un matériau donné, utile pour établir les relations liant ses contraintes et ses déformations.
