    Vapour barrier for composite antenna

    We are manufacturing a thin skin (1mm) L-band antenna (1.5GHz)from E-glass epoxy. Ons of the problems we are facing is that there seems to be moisture migration through the skin, which to the antenna guys is a problem. This seems to occur at molecular level, as the void content of the laminate...

    Material property PRXY vs NUXY?

    Hi Mohr, Can you please be a little more specific on the title and author of the book, as I do not have it. I have quite a few other books in the field, but nowhere in them or the Ansys theory manual do I find anything on the matter. Regards HeinBau

    Material property PRXY vs NUXY?

    In the older versions of Ansys one used the minor poisson's ratio NUXY etc when giving orthotropic material proerties. In version 6 the major poisson's ratio PRXY is required. What is the definition of PRXY, and what is the conversion to NUXY. Regards

    EMI properties of carbon laminates?

    Can anybody shed some light on the EMI properties of typical carbon/epoxy laminates. Is additional screening such as flame/arc spraying, or nickel coated carbon veils or metallic meshes really required, or is the carbon laminate sufficient for EMI screening. Additionally, should a carbon...
