National Composites Week: Top 20 stories in the last decade
As we celebrate National Composites Week, we’ve collected our top content over the last ten years.
Reimagining wind blade design
Wind turbine blade architecture is so well established that it’s difficult to imagine there might be a better alternative. ACT Blade’s skeleton-based design is a step in that direction.

Revisiting the Fundamentals of Light Resin Transfer Molding (LRTM)
Like other closed molding composites processes, Light Resin Transfer Molding (LRTM) offers reduced waste and emissions, efficient materials use and a consistent and repeatable process. But LRTM requires less costly tooling and can still provide excellent cosmetics on both sides of a part in an efficient manufacturing process.
FASTIGUE: Empowering digital twins of large-scale composite structures
A 3D finite element technique to resolve the fidelity-versus-speed dilemma of performing fatigue analysis for large composite structures.
