Designed for electronics enclosure, this compound line comes in just about any thermoplastic resin system, using stainless steel fibers, carbon fibers, or nickel-coated carbon fibers. They come in PP, ABS, POM, PC, PBT, PA-6, PA-66, PPS PSul, PES and PEEK. In addition, TPU and various fluoropolymers contain these conductive additives. Stainless steel fiber additive compounds come in either fully compounded or dry-blended form. The latter has all additives in the resin except the stainless steel fibers, which can blend into the resin in a concentrate. Carbon fiber versions offer >30 dB, >40 dB or >50 dB shielding effectiveness, depending on the percentage of carbon additives. The nickel-coated carbon fiber versions have 90 dB shielding effectives with as little as 15 percent in the compound. Both carbon fiber and nickel-coated carbon fiber versions only come in fully compounded form. Premix Thermoplastics Inc.http://rbi.ims.ca/4928-622
A next-generation guided ammunition system for intercepting enemy fire that Lockheed Martin is developing for the Army has hit its targets in an initial series of tests by the company.
Against a backdrop of mounting product complexity and a need to keep a lid on development costs, companies are recognizing a need to make simulation a more integral part of the design process. In response, vendors in the CAD world are building out CAE functionality as part of their CAD suites while simulation vendors are building tighter integrations to leading CAD tools. Keith Meintjes, Ph.D., Practice Manager, Simulation and Analysis at CIMdata, Inc., joins Design News CAD Editor Beth Stackpole in this radio program to explore the new face of integrated CAD and CAE, how companies are benefitting from this tighter partnership between platforms, and how integrating CAE earlier in the development cycle pays off in optimized product designs.
