Submitted by Zhigang Suo on

In response to a NSF call for proposal on Cyberinfrastructure Training, Education, Advancement, and Mentoring for Our 21st Century Workforce (CI-TEAM), in June 2006, several of us submitted a proposal entitled "iMechanica:  Leveraging Cyberinfrastructure to Evolve All Knowledge of Applied Mechanics"

I'd like to know something about Carbon Fiber

Submitted by aitang on

Dear all,

 Recently I got something info from my colleagues about Carbon Fiber. Now more and more this kind material is using in Aerospace, and it has a very nice future.

As it's very abrasive when cutting it, so there's lots of problems for machining.

So, could you anyone give me some info about this material? or where can I go for it?

 thanks a lot
