| 1 | The effects of electrical discharges on glass fibre and carbon fibre structures are uncertain , but it is clear that any moisture in the material would be turned to steam by a flash and would certainly cause delamination and very expensive damage . |
| 2 | The use of composite materials , such as carbon fibre and Kevlar , to save weight has become part and parcel of racing car production . |
| 3 | Glass-fibre remains an inexpensive and effective reinforcement material , but in recent years it has been upstaged by Kevlar and carbon fibre , two stronger but more costly materials that owe their high profile largely to their use in formula racing cars . |
| 4 | Three types of fibre reinforcement are commonly used in composites : glass-fibre , Kevlar and carbon fibre . |
| 5 | As the bar chart below shows , carbon fibre has the highest modulus-to-density ratio , followed by Kevlar and then glass . |
| 6 | In composite form the tensile modulus is reduced , but the modulus-to-density ratios for carbon fibre and Kevlar nevertheless remain markedly superior to those of the common engineering materials . |
| 7 | The ranking of the fibres ' modulus/density ratios is reflected in their relative costs , glass-fibre being the cheapest and carbon fibre the most expensive : |
| 8 | The price of Kevlar will reduce as it becomes more widely used , whereas carbon fibre is so energy-consumptive to manufacture that the likelihood is it will always be too costly for anything other than specialised use in the car industry . |
| 9 | Carbon fibre |
| 10 | Top to Bottom : A range of tubes by Pultrex , the ‘ Pullwound ’ type showing an inner layer ; glass fibre tube and rod showing comparatively thicker wall in the tubing , accounting for greater weight ; a mix of unidirectional carbon fibre tubes of the most popular type . |
| 11 | Pullwound tubes can be made in glass or carbon fibre , have a high crush strength , and come in any of five colours in glass/polyester . |
| 12 | A visit to the DIY store will suggest everyday accessories that will be easily adapted to the tube and its pulleys , while the sailspars are best made from carbon fibre tube . |
| 13 | Use of carbon fibre reinforced tube and rod not only added to frame rigidity , it enabled lighter and smaller designs to be created such as described already in Chapter Two , and it led eventually to sail designs with multiple stand-offs for improved aerodynamic characteristics . |
| 14 | Extra sail stretchers either in the form of rigid stand-offs made of carbon fibre rod , or flexible glass fibre rods forced by compression into a curve which push the sail upwards and backwards , have become regular features.These serve to dampen the flutter , and to hold the sail form during the critical launch stage in low wind speeds.Trailing edge stiffening with mylar film or mesh overlay is used on some designs . |
| 15 | In some instances where sail stretchers are in flexible glass fibre ( as distinct from the rigid carbon fibre rod used for stand-offs ) it may be necessary to fit the stretchers before the spar is pushed into the leading edge vinyl in order to get the correct sail deflection . |
| 16 | Carbon fibre tubes have cured much of this ; but the fourth bridle line is used on larger sport kites even though it requires accurate adjustment to balance with the other lines . |
| 17 | Propulsion plate A firm carbon fibre plate fitted between the midsole and outsole . |
| 18 | Carbon fibre technology has taken pole vaulting to heights unimaginable only a few years ago . |
| 19 | The secret of the FUSION 's Propulsion System is a full length carbon fibre plate positioned between the outsole and the midsole . |
| 20 | Just like a vaulter 's carbon fibre pole , FUSION conserves and then re-distributes energy — for stunning propulsion effect . |
| 21 | She is available with a three or four double cabin layout with the option of two or three heads and is built with a 5 year hull guarantee , using the latest moulding and construction techniques incorporating bi-directional materials , isothalic gelcoats and resins with carbon fibre or Kevlar at high stress areas . |
| 22 | He was safely cocooned in a tough carbon fibre shell . |
| 23 | Meh'Lindi had formerly undergone experimental surgery to implant extrudable , shape-remembering plastiflesh reinforced with carbon fibre and flexicartilage which could toughen hard as horn . |
| 24 | The Chevron is constructed using a mixture of conventional glass fibre , kevlar and carbon fibre with polyester foam cores to stabilise the glass skins . |
| 25 | The canopy , which hinges forwards , is made of flat sheets of poly-carbonate , framed with carbon fibre for stiffness . |
| 26 | They contrast Lovegrove 's favourite modern materials , like carbon fibre , with natural forms , like the Hermés silk square that doubles as a portable chessboard . |
| 27 | The hull is of relatively hi-tech construction being of quadri-axial glassfibre rovings augmented by carbon fibre . |
| 28 | With the introduction of carbon fibre , rod development has come on in leaps and bounds . |
| 29 | During their April visit ( the 11th inspection ) the IAEA inspectors sought information particularly on Iraq 's source for supplies of 100 tonnes of maraging steel , an alloy used to build uranium enrichment centrifuges , and 20 carbon fibre rotors , equipment used in enrichment . |
| 30 | Its body is made of high strength , low weight carbon fibre and the little car can carry up to four adults and two children . |
