A review: drilling performance and hole quality of aluminium alloys for aerospace applications (2020, background): “Thus, aluminium being the lightest metal can readily replace other metals and sustain pressure loading on the wings which has increased due to the construction of larger aircraft [8].”
Recent progress of reinforcement materials: a comprehensive overview of composite materials (2019, background): “force on vacuum bag to consolidate the laminate by removing entrapped air, excess resin which results in higher percentage of fiber reinforcement [149,150].”
An investigation into 3D printing of fibre reinforced thermoplastic composites (2018, background): “A fundamental CFRP manufacturing challenge, however, is the combination of the reinforcement fibres into the polymer matrix with good consolidation, control of fibre orientation and low cost [1].”
A review of the recent trends on core structures and impact response of sandwich panels (2021, background): “For open-cell type, the cells are interconnected, which is rarely used in aircrafts in preference to closed-cell foams.(93) Polymer foams can be flexible or rigid due to their cell geometry such as open cells or closed cells.”
