  1. COMPOSITE MATERIALS AND THEIR APPLICATIONS

  2. introduction • I AM GOING TO DO A PRESENTATION ON SPORTS PERFORMANCE RELATED THINGS. AND I AM GOING TO TELL YOU ABOUT THE DIFFERENT KINDS OF COMPOSITE MATERIALS. I AM GOING TO TELL YOU THE ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF COMPOSITE MATERIALS. ALSO THE PEOPLE THAT WORK WITH COMPOSITE MATERIALS.

  3. TYPES OF COMPOSITE MATERIALS THERE ARE VARIOUS TYPES OF COMPOSITE MATERIALS AND HERE ARE TWO EXAMPLES:- CARBON FIBRE AND FIBRE GLASS. CARBON FIBRES-THESE ARE USED IN THE MAKING OF SPORTS EQUIPMENT. FIBRE GLASS:- IS USED IN THE MAKING OF RACING CARS AND OTHER SUCH VEHICLES.

  4. Engineer • Engineers apply technology to build things • When it comes to building composites just about all engineers disciplines can be involved. Specific engineering tasks include, stress analysis, structural designs, materials processing, control systems, industrial processes, testing and more Engineers must have an under graduate degree and many have master degrees. Doctorates are less common.

  5. Scientists • At the risk of oversimplifying things, Scientists develop the technologies that engineers apply. In general, then, they are more involved in basic research such as material development and structural theory. Of course, many engineers perform research, and many scientists work on engineering applications. Most scientistshave doctorates; fewer stop at a Masters or Bachelors.

  6. Technician • At the risk of over simplifying again, again technicians are people who do most of the hands-on work. They lay up the composites, do the machining, and produce the drawings. Technicians develop highly specialised skills, most of which are learned on the job. A vocational background or an associates degree is common.

  7. Faculty (research)‏ • University faculty members can be either engineers or scientists, and the all most exclusively hold doctoral degrees. In contrasts to industry engineers, university professors in engineering departments focus more on research than on manufacture of a specific product. The research, however, might be orientated towards industry interests such as manufacturing processes.

  8. Carbon fibre • You can golf, ride, sail, tennis, drive, cycle, fish, decorate or even fly carbon fibre. • AIRBUS A350 • The development of this aircraft will see a further significant use of carbon fibre composites. The whole wing structure will be made out or carbon fibre.

  9. Business • Any company needs staff for management, business development, sales, quality assurance, scheduling, and other tasks which are not directly technical. Some of these positions require detailed technical knowledge, and they are often filled by former engineers or technicians. Even though engineers might have advanced might have advanced degrees, some of business courses or even an MBA will help the transition into management.

  10. Recycling • An important usage of concern involves the materials entire lifecycle, as carbon fibre reinforced plastics have an almost infinite lifetime. Some companies are succeeding in recycling this carbon fibre. The recycling strategy centres on milling, compounding or shredding the reclaimed carbon fibre, and finding use for this end product in various industrial applications (including carbon fibres applications less stringent than those required by, say, the aerospace industry). It is also commonly used in electronics, such as laptops, to lower the weight load and to improve durability.

  11. Advantages of composite materials • The advantages of composite materials are that they are strong, don’t rust easily and they are not heavy in any way.

  12. Disadvantages of composite materials • The disadvantages of composite materials are that they are very expensive to buy and difficult to stick to other materials.

  13. People who work with composite materials • The people who work with composite materials are :- • *Footballers • *Ice skaters • *Basket ball players • *Pilots • *Builders etc.

  14. Summary (what we found out about)‏ • We found out about composite materials and what they are and how they work, what they are made of and what they are like to buy, whether they are expensive and what they are like to keep.

  15. Jordan extreme boots • Which air Jordan’s are the lightest? • Well most people would say air Jordan xi are the lightest but I don’t think it has been proven. • They are light, they have speed lace toggles, heels, PHYLON mid-sole, mid-foot strap, ankle leash, suspension, medial air vents and carbon fibre shanks plates.

  16. Tennis rackets • Ordinary rackets are made of millions of carbon fibres that are linked together and then heat shaped but when a racket is n-coded nano sized silicone oxide crystals permeate the voids between the carbon fibres. The results are two times the strength, two times the stability and 22% more power than an ordinary racket.

  17. bicycles • Team GB cycling team were equipped with carbon fibre bikes that were designed and built by ACG when they competed at the Athens Olympics in august 2004 winning two gold, one silver and one bronze between them.
