With rapid growth in the space exploration industry, there is great demand for fuel efficient, lightweight vehicles with increased capacity for payload. Advances in production materials offer several viable options for space manufacturers. Next Generation Materials for Space Launch Vehicles, a paper by EWI Applications Engineer Mike Eff, examines the material needs of today’s LVs...

In past years, efforts to adopt electric technologies in transportation manufacturing have been focused on the automotive sector. Today, however, industries including aerospace, shipbuilding, and commercial trucking are incorporating electromobility innovations to create products with lower emissions and greater energy efficiency than their traditional alternatives. E-mobility solutions offer attractive benefits, but there are challenges to...

Modeling of heat generation during plastic welding can save time and money in product development. EWI has developed an approach for spin welding, which shows good correlation to experimental results.  This work is described in FEA Modeling of Heat Development in Spin Welding, a paper by Miranda Marcus and Tom Feister. A similar approach can...
