Automated fiber placement. Automated fiber placement (AFP), also known as advanced fiber placement, is an advanced method of manufacturing composite materials. These materials, which offer lighter weight with equivalent or greater strength than metals, are increasingly used in airframes and other industrial products.

Fiber Placement is an automated composites manufacturing process of heating and compacting synthetic resin pre-impregnated non-metallic fibers on typically complex tooling mandrels. The fiber usually comes in the form of what are referred to as "tows". A tow is typically a bundle of carbon fibers impregnated with epoxy resin and is approximately  wide by  thick and comes on a spool. Fiber placement machines (FPM) generally have a capacity of 12 to 32 tows or when placing all tows at a time in a course, have respective course widths of 1.5 in to 4 in. The tows are fed to a heater and compaction roller on the FPM head and through robotic type machine movements, are placed in courses across a tool surface. Courses are generally placed in orientations of 0°, +45°, -45° and 90° to build up plies which in combination, have good properties in all directions.  Fiber placement machines are generally rated in (lb/h), (lb/min) or weight per time.

Description
Automated fiber placement (AFP) machines are a recent development of composite manufacturing technologies meant to increase rate and precision in the production of advanced composite parts. AFP machines place fiber reinforcements on moulds or mandrels in an automatic fashion and use a number of separate small width tows (typically  or less) of thermoset or thermoplastic pre-impregnated materials to form composite layups. This technology allows better precision and increased deposition rates when compared with experienced laminators but, while allowing for more complex layup geometries than Automated Tape Laying (ATL) it does not reach the same deposition rates. Automated fiber placement can be used to manufacture complex structures that are not possible to manufacture with any other methods.

Goldwing Ltd Goldwing. The Goldwing Ltd Goldwing is an American ultralight aircraft that was designed by Craig Catto and Brian Glenn and produced by Goldwing Ltd. The aircraft was supplied as a complete factory-built aircraft only and no kits or plans were offered.

Design and development
The aircraft was first flown before the US FAR 103 Ultralight Vehicles rules were introduced and the early versions of the Goldwing did not meet the category's maximum empty weight of  or its maximum speed requirement of . Later models were made lighter and slower to fit FAR 103. The Goldwing UL model has a standard empty weight of . It features a cantilever mid-wing, canard, a single-seat, open cockpit, tricycle landing gear and a single engine in pusher configuration.

The aircraft is made from molded fiberglass epoxy composites, including Kevlar, carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer and high-density foam. Its  span wing is built with a carbon epoxy spar, with the rest of the wing built from foam and covered with doped aircraft fabric covering. The wing features tip rudders and ailerons combined with spoilers for roll control. Pitch is controlled by the canard surface. The landing gear includes laminated fiberglass main gear legs and a steerable nosewheel. The aft-mounted powerplant was a  Kawasaki 440,  Cuyuna 430R or a  Rotax 277. The Goldwing has a 16:1 glide ratio.

In flight the aircraft is reported to be very pitch-sensitive.

Variants
Goldwing ST
Initial version; too heavy and fast for the US FAR 103 ultralight category.

Pure bending. In solid mechanics, pure bending (also known as the theory of simple bending) is a condition of stress where a bending moment is applied to a beam without the simultaneous presence of axial, shear, or torsional forces.
Pure bending occurs only under a constant bending moment () since the shear force (), which is equal to  has to be equal to zero. In reality, a state of pure bending does not practically exist, because such a state needs an absolutely weightless member. The state of pure bending is an approximation made to derive formulas.

Kinematics of pure bending
In pure bending the axial lines bend to form circumferential lines and transverse lines remain straight and become radial lines.
Axial lines that do not extend or contract form a neutral surface.

Assumptions made in the theory of Pure Bending
The material of the beam is homogeneous1 and isotropic2.
The value of Young's Modulus of Elasticity is same in tension and compression.
The transverse sections which were plane before bending, remain plane after bending also.
The beam is initially straight and all longitudinal filaments bend into circular arcs with a common centre of curvature.
The radius of curvature is large as compared to the dimensions of the cross-section.
Each layer of the beam is free to expand or contract, independently of the layer, above or below it.
Notes: 1 Homogeneous means the material is of same kind throughout. 2 Isotropic means that the elastic properties in all directions are equal.

James Newman (mining engineer). James Malcolm Newman CBE (20 June 1880 – 23 November 1973) was an Australian mining engineer and grazier.

Newman was born at Caboolture in Queensland to Irish-born labourer and farmer James Newman and Elizabeth, née Irwin. He attended Brisbane Grammar School and the University of Sydney, graduating with a Bachelor of Engineering specialising in mining and metallurgy in 1901. From 1902 he worked as a trucker, timberman, miner and assistant surveyor at Broken Hill; he moved to Western Australia in 1904 to work as a surveyor with Peak Hill Goldfield Ltd, of which he was general manager in 1907. He married Elizabeth Maud in Perth on 3 October 1908, although they were later divorced.

Newman returned to Queensland in 1908 to become a consultant to Mount Morgan Gold Mining Co. Ltd, subsequently joining the engineering staff until he returned to consultancy in 1912, after which he worked in Papua and Malaya. He served with the Malay States Guides in World War I and then formed Alluvial Tin (Malaya) Ltd in 1923 with Graham Pratten. The pair extended their business to Siam, Borneo and Burma before selling the company in 1927. Newman returned to Caboolture, and on 16 February 1927 married Gwendoline Nita Stephenson; they settled in a thirty-eight room mansion. Newman bought extensive property in rural Queensland and the Northern Territory, acquiring dairy farms, pineapple plantations, and cattle studs like Anthony Lagoon Station. In 1942 he was appointed controller of minerals production and given the task of increasing production of strategic minerals like tungsten and tin. He moved briefly to Melbourne, during which time the Royal Australian Navy used his home; he later donated the property as a war veterans' home and lived in Beachmere. Appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire in 1957, he was awarded the medal of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy in 1960. He died at St Lucia in 1973.

Industrial Fasteners Institute. The Industrial Fasteners Institute (IFI) is an American non-profit trade and standards organization and publisher, based in Independence, Ohio. It was founded as the American Institute of Bolt, Nut and Rivet Manufacturers in 1931 and changed its name to the IFI in 1949. Among their publications is the frequently cited IFI Fastener Technology Handbook, a reference frequently used as a design guide by mechanical engineers, machinists, and others involved in the production of high-quality machine screws, bolts, nuts, and other engineered fasteners.

Leadership

Herman H. Lind became the organization's executive vice president in 1937.

Frank Masterson was elected president of the institute by its 200 members in 1953 and assumed office in January 1954.

The organization's chair for the 2023–24 term is Gene Simpson.

Activities 

The IFI has established industrial standards.  One such standard is "IFI Standard 125", which concerns various forms of thread-locking fluid.

Most standards-compliant screws and fasteners that are used in the US are required to be marked, so that the manufacturer can be identified. The IFI maintains a list of trademarks and other identifying markers used by manufacturers.

It has sponsored scholarships for industrial design training at the Fastener Training Institute.

In 1946, the institute held its annual meeting in New York City and announced plans to request an increase in price ceilings on their industry's products from the Office of Price Administration.

In 1947, the institute criticized a War Assets Administration contract that sold 7.5 million dollars worth of metal fasteners for $22.50 per ton to one nut and bolt company.

The institute played a role in debates about proposals for the United States to convert to the metric system. As of 1973, the IFI had 60 members, who reportedly produced 60 percent of the nuts, bolts, and screws manufactured in the United States. The organization initially opposed the U.S. conversion to metric measurements, but by 1973 had changed its position to support voluntary adoption of metric system standards without government interference, according to institute president Frank Masterson.

In 2012, Joe Greenslade, the technical director of the institute at the time, said he concured with an article in Physics World that "faulty rivets" may play a role in the sinking of Titanic.

Carr Special. The Carr Special, also called the Carr Racer, the Saginaw Junior, and the Blackhawk, was an American low-wing monoplane racing aircraft developed in 1931.

Design and development
In 1932, the founder of Paramount Aircraft Corporation left his failing company at the peak of the Great Depression, and attempted to pursue revenue in the potentially lucrative air race competitions. The construction of the aircraft was sponsored by the Saginaw Junior Chamber of Commerce, prompting the nose art "Saginaw Junior". The Carr Special was built to compete in the Curtiss OX-5-powered class of the 1932 National Air Races, where many of the competitors were still biplanes.

The Carr Special was built around part of the fuselage as well as the OX-5 engine from a Travel Air 2000 biplane. It was a low wing strut-braced conventional landing gear monoplane with steel tube construction with aircraft fabric covering.

Operational history
The Carr Special was entered in the 1932 National Air Races in the "Free for All", but pulled out after being lapped by all but one other entrant, and in the precision landing contest. Despite the poor showing, the aircraft would later win 22 races. The aircraft was then modified for skywriting, and later modified again with a  Warner Scarab radial engine. On 19 September 1936, Kenny Barber placed second in the  class at Pontiac, Michigan. The aircraft was destroyed in 1937 at Southfield, Michigan.
