Project description
A spring, a kind of shock absorber in the industrial field, can store strain energy to a specified displacement when load is applied. Although the traditional spring is currently widely used, their disadvantages limit the further development, such as high weight, low damping, and easy oxidization and corrosion, resulting in low fuel efficiency, high noise, and short service life. Fiber reinforced polymer composites possess better strain energy storage ability, higher strength, and less weight, therefore, fiber reinforced polymer composite were adopted to replace traditional springs considering the weight reduction, performance enhancement and chemical resistance.
Industry involvement
Note: You need to register interest in projects from different supervisors (not a number of projects with the one supervisor).
You must also contact each supervisor directly to discuss both the project details and your suitability to undertake the project.
