"Udo" wrote in message oups.com... From the Delft University: http://www.compositesworld.com/news/...October/112036 Udo Established aircraft manufacturers have a huge investment in riveted aluminum technology. This material lets them delay the costs of climbing the learning curve of pure composites. It may not be a good as pure composites overall, but it can be used with conventional construction methods. There are still open questions about bend radii and rivet hole dimensions. We'll see. bildan |

Here is the Delft link: http://www.tudelft.nl/live/pagina.js...b2-4dbb-8ea5-c 7601acbbd1e〈=en (may require some link reconstruction), and a link from TG Daily: http://www.tgdaily.com/content/view/34052/118/ note: Delft does not claim it to be 'immune to metal fatigue' as suggested in other link's writeups on the subject, but 'nearly immune' is how Delft puts it; details details... This is a new material, so shortcomings of existing materials may not apply. On that note, I have emailed Prof Benedictus (cited by Delft for queries to more info) for more detailed info and will share anything he mayprovide. I am sure he is swamped with requests though, as I have seen I'm not the first person who is curious enough about this material to ask him questions about it.
