Abstract:
ABSTRACT: The quenching of metallic aircraft parts produces residual stresses and distortion that increase subsequent manufacturing costs and reduced component performance. Manufacturers seek to control these residual stresses through design of the quench process. In this proposal, AltaSim… More
Ceramic Matrix Composites (CMCs) can provide excellent high temperature performance in a wide range of applications (e.g., jet engines). However, designing and manufacturing components from CMCs continues to represent a challenge to industry. AltaSim Technologies is currently developing design tools… More
