  2. Plastic automotive engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastic_automotive_engine

    It was composed of metal cylinder sleeves, metal combustion chamber tops, metal piston crowns, bearings, valves and seats, and a stock 2.3L Pinto crankshaft. Nearly everything else in the engine, including the block, rods and piston skirts, were made of glass reinforced Polyamide-imide thermoplastic resins manufactured at the time by Amoco ...

  3. Metal matrix composite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_matrix_composite

    Honda has used aluminum matrix composite cylinder liners in some of their engines, including the B21A1, H22A and H23A, F20C and F22C, and the C32B used in the NSX. Toyota has since used metal matrix composites in the Yamaha -designed 2ZZ-GE engine which is used in the later Lotus Lotus Elise S2 versions as well as Toyota car models, including ...

  5. Matrix (composite) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matrix_(composite)

    The common matrices are polymers (mainly utilized for fibre reinforced plastics). The most common polymer-based composite materials which include carbon fibre, fibreglass and Kevlar, typically involve two parts at least, the resin and the substrate. [5] Asphalt concrete, which is often used in the construction of roads, has a matrix called ...

  8. Nose cone design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nose_cone_design

    The shape can be modified at the base to smooth out this discontinuity. Both a flat-faced cylinder and a cone are members of the power series. The power series nose shape is generated by rotating the y = R(x/L) n curve about the x-axis for values of n less than 1. The factor n controls the bluntness of the shape.

  9. Composite overwrapped pressure vessel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composite_overwrapped...

    A composite overwrapped pressure vessel (COPV) is a vessel consisting of a thin, non-structural liner wrapped with a structural fiber composite, designed to hold a fluid under pressure. The liner provides a barrier between the fluid and the composite, preventing leaks (which can occur through matrix microcracks which do not cause structural ...
