Your solution looks ok to me, but this is not familiar territory to me, so I think that you should please wait for another member to confirm.
That's generally not how it works here ##-## mostly, someone posts a question, and members browse over threads, click on some they might be interested in, and then if so motivated, provide a reply ##-## sometimes, someone will 'page' someone by saying e.g. that maybe @sysprog has an answer to that, and that member will get an alert that the mention occurred ##-## when you've read enough threads in the areas in which you're interested, e.g in ME, you can then perhaps mention someone whom you think might have a good response, or even start a conversation ##-## assuming that you'll please remember that we're all volunteers here, I think that you're courteous enough that you'll likely find a strong presence here of people genuinely interested in your forum-relevant concerns.Urika said:Thanks alot, I made the images big. Can you please tag someone who will be able to help me confirm
sysprog said:it's still better to post full images rather than only thumbnails in most situations, and you may need to include an image of an Excel chart to show your answer, even when using ## \LaTeX##.
Composite manufacturing is the process of creating a material by combining two or more different materials with distinct properties to create a new material with enhanced properties.
There are several advantages of using composite materials in manufacturing, including high strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and design flexibility. They are also lightweight, durable, and have a longer lifespan compared to traditional materials.
The most common types of composite materials used in manufacturing are fiber-reinforced composites, particulate composites, and structural composites. Fiber-reinforced composites are made up of a matrix material, such as resin, reinforced with fibers, such as carbon or glass. Particulate composites are made up of a matrix material with particles, such as metal or ceramic, embedded in it. Structural composites are made up of two or more different materials with different properties, such as metal and ceramic, combined to create a material with enhanced properties.
The steps involved in composite manufacturing include design and material selection, mold preparation, lay-up, curing, and finishing. Design and material selection involve determining the desired properties of the final product and selecting the appropriate materials to achieve those properties. Mold preparation involves creating a mold or tool to shape the composite material. Lay-up is the process of layering the materials in the mold, followed by curing, which involves applying heat or pressure to harden the material. Finishing involves trimming, sanding, and painting the final product.
Composite materials are used in a wide range of industries, including aerospace, automotive, marine, construction, and sports equipment. They are also used in the production of wind turbine blades, medical devices, and consumer goods such as furniture and electronics.
