Design of composite tidal turbine blades
(2013-02-24)Tidal turbine blades are subjected to significant thrust and torsional loadings due to the high density ofthe seawater in which they operate. These thrust loadings lead to high bending moments at the bladeroot, which can ... -
Oxidation behaviour of particle reinforced MoSi2 composites at temperatures up to 1700 °C, Part I: Literature Review
(Wiley, 2005-02-04)In the first part of this paper the results of a literature review are presented. An overview of the oxidation behaviour in air and in combustion environments of both pure MoSi2 and MoSi2 composites in the temperature range ... -
Rotational moulding of PEEK polymer liners with carbon fibre/PEEK over tape-placement for space cryogenic fuel tanks
(Elsevier, 2017-07-15)PEEK polymers are investigated as replacement materials for metallic liners in composite overwrapped pressure vessels (COPVs) for fuel tank applications in space. A novel, integrally heated, rotational moulding tool has ...
