Carbon fibers in automotive and aircraft applicationsrohannaik42
Carbon fibers have several advantages including high stiffness, high tensile strength, low weight, high chemical resistance, high temperature tolerance and low thermal expansion. These properties have made carbon fiber very popular in aerospace, civil engineering, military, and motor sports, along with other competition sports.
Carbon Fibre is one of the most recent developments in the field of composite materials and is one of the strongest fibers known to man. It is usually the first choice of fibre if something very strong and very light is required.
Carbon fibre was originally developed in space technology, but has now been adopted in many other areas of manufacture. Racing car monocoques and aeroplane wings are usually constructed of carbon fibre.
With the decrease in its cost over recent years, it is fast becoming one of the leading materials in many areas, including performance sport equipment, transport, scientific experiments and even wallets and watches.
This presentation is about carbon fibre. Carbon fibre is a technical textile product. In this ppt, we have learnt about the history & introduction of carbon fibre and also morphology, properties, chemical structure, crystal structure, manufacturing process, future scope and some end use of carbon fibre.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
3. INTRODUCTION
Carbon fibers are fibers about 5–10 micrometers in
diameter and composed mostly of carbon atoms.
Carbon fibers have several advantages including
high stiffness, high tensile strength, low weight, high
chemical resistance, high temperature tolerance and
low thermal expansion.
4. These properties have made carbon fiber very
popular in aerospace, civil engineering, military, and
motorsports, along with other competition sports.
Five times stronger than steel , Two times stiffer
and about Two-Third times less in weight.
5. Several thousand carbon fibers are bundled together to
form a tow, which may be used by itself or woven into a
fabric.
Carbon fibers are usually combined with other materials to
form a composite
6. Which has a very high strength-to-weight ratio and is
extremely rigid and brittle.
Carbon fibers are also composited with other materials,
such as graphite, to form reinforced carbon-carbon
composites, which have a very high heat tolerance.
7. BRIEF HISTORY OF CARBON FIBER
In 1860, Joseph Swan produced carbon fibers for the first
time, for use in light bulbs.
In 1879, Thomas Edison baked cotton threads or bamboo
slivers at high temperatures carbonizing them into an all-
carbon fiber filament used in one of the first incandescent light
bulbs to be heated by electricity.
In 1880, Lewis Latimer developed a reliable carbon wire
filament for the incandescent light bulb, heated by electricity.
8. In 1958, Roger Bacon created high-performance carbon
fibers at the Union Carbide Parma Technical Center
located outside of Cleveland, Ohio.
This process proved to be inefficient, as the resulting
fibers contained only about 20% carbon and had low
strength and stiffness properties.
US Air force and NASA began using carbon fiber for its
applications to aircrafts and spacecrafts
9. In the late 1960s, the Japanese
took the lead in manufacturing
PAN-based carbon fibers
US Air force and NASA began
using carbon fiber for its applications
to aircrafts and spacecrafts
10. HOW IS CARBON FIBER MADE?
Production from two sources:-
90% polyacrylonitrile (PAN).
10% rayon or petroleum pitch.
11. CHEMISTRY
One of main components of carbon fiber, is semi -
crystalline polymer resin, known as Polyacrylonitrile.
Once the polyacrylonitrile is made and stabilized, it is
ready for the Carbonization process.
The fibers have to be heated to extreme temperatures
going all the way high as 5,500℉ for several minutes.
12. This has to be done in a furnace that does not
contain any oxygen whatsoever, so that the
fibers do not burn
13. Production Carbon fibers are typically made from
polyacrylonitrile (PAN). Upon heating to 300C, the
cyano side groups form cyclic rings with each other.
14. Further heating at 700:C causes these rings to become
aromatic pyridine groups due to the loss of hydrogen
from the carbon atoms.
15. By slowly applying heat between 400-600:C, adjacent
chains fuse together to form ribbons, expelling more
hydrogen gas.
16. In order to form wider ribbons, the temperature is
increased to 600-1300:C, and nitrogen gas is
expelled.
17. These ribbons contain carbon in its hexagonal
graphitic structure, and do not have the long range
ordering, so carbon fibers are amorphous.
18. During this process, all the non carbon atoms fade
away and you are left with fibers that have tightly
bonded carbon crystals.
The fibers are coated with materials that are
compatible with the adhesive used to make
composite materials.
These materials include nylon, polyester, urethane,
epoxy and more.
20. STRUCTURE
The atomic structure of carbon fiber is similar to
that of graphite consisting of sheets of carbon
atoms arranged in a regular hexagonal
(graphene sheets) the difference being in the way
these sheets interlock.
24. MANUFACTURING PROCESS
In the manufacturing process, the raw materials, which are
called precursors, are drawn into long strands or fibers. The
fibers are woven into fabric or combined with other materials
that are filament wound or molded into desired shapes and
sizes.
There are typically five segments in the manufacturing of
carbon fibers from the PAN process.
These are:
25. Spinning:
PAN mixed with other ingredients and spun into
fibers, which are washed and stretched.
Stabilizing:
Chemical alteration to stabilize bonding.
Carbonizing:
Stabilized fibers heated to very high temperature
forming tightly bonded carbon crystals.
26. Treating the Surface:
The surface of fibers oxidized to improve bonding
properties.
Sizing:-
Fibers are coated and wound onto bobbins, which are
loaded onto spinning machines that twist the fibers into
different size yarns. Instead of being woven into fabrics,
fibers may be formed into composites. To form composite
materials, heat, Pressure or a vacuum binds fibers
together with a plastic Polymer.
27. MANUFACTURING CHALLENGES
The manufacture of carbon fibers carries a number
of challenges, including:
The need for more cost-effective recovery and
repair.
The surface treatment process must be carefully
regulated to avoid creating pits that could result in
defective fibers.
Close control required to ensure consistent quality.
28. Health and safety issues
Skin irritation
Breathing irritation
Arcing and shorts in electrical equipment because
of the strong electro-conductivity of carbon fibers.
34. APPLICATION IN THE AUTOMOTIVE
INDUSTRY:
Hoods
Car emblems
Mufflers
Interior panels of a car
Steering wheels
Racing car chassis
35. APPLICATION IN CIVIL ENGINEERING
Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer is can be applied to
reinforce concrete structures
The high strength of carbon fiber enables it to be used as
a prestresser
36. High corrosion resistance allows for use in offshore
environments
Used in PCCP lines to reinforce the pipes
37. APPLICATIONS IN AEROSPACE ENGINEERING
Aircraft:
Main wings
Tail units
Fuselages
Ailerons
Rudders
Elevators
Floor panel
Beams
Lavatory units
Seats
40. APPLICATIONS IN THE MEDICAL FIELD
Radiographic imaging table tops, cradles, couches, and
pallet
Table top extensions & accessories
Oncology treatment overlays
43. OTHER APPLICATION

Relatively Expensive
Requires specialized experience and equipment to use
46. ADVANTAGES
Lightweight
carbon fiber is a low density material with a very high
strength to weight ratio
Low thermal expansion
carbon fiber will expand or contract much less in hot or
cold conditions than materials like steel and aluminum
Exceptional durability
carbon fiber will expand or contract much less in hot or
cold conditions than materials like steel and aluminum
47. Corrosion-resistance
when made with the appropriate resins, carbon fiber is one of
the most corrosion-resistant materials available
High tensile strength
one of the strongest of all commercial reinforcing fibers when
it comes to tension, carbon fiber is very difficult to stretch or
bend
Radiolucence
carbon fiber is transparent to radiation and invisible in x-rays
making it valuable for usage in medical equipment and
facilities
48. Electrical conductivity
carbon fiber composites are an excellent conductor of
electricity
Ultra-violet resistance
carbon fiber can be UV resistant with use of the proper
resins
49. DISADVANTAGES
Carbon fiber will break or shatter
when it’s compressed, pushed beyond its strength
capabilities or exposed to high impact.
It will crack if hit by a hammer.
Machining and holes can also create weak areas
that may increase its likelihood of breaking.
50. Relative cost
carbon fiber is a high quality material with a price to match.
While prices have dropped significantly in the past five
years, demand has not increased enough to increase the
supply substantially.
As a result, prices will likely remain the same for the near
future.
51. INDIA GETS FIRST CARBON FIBER PLANT
May 9th 2010, Former President Dr A P J Abdul Kalam
on Sunday inaugurated the country's first carbon fiber
