Innovative Strategies in Lightweight Materials for High-Performance Defence Applications

Le résumé fourni par la source

Defence needs lightweight composites because of their good strength to weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and thermal stability. Then this chapter studies the design and optimization of a number of matrix composites motivated by their mechanical and thermal performance in extreme environments. This highlights the importance of multiscale modelling, simulation and advanced manufacturing in improving composite reliability. This is applied to UVAs, armoured vehicles and naval systems for enhanced mobility and efficiency. Although there have been some impediments to production, the use of AI, nanomaterials, and sustainability will lead to scalable, high-performance solutions. These materials are then substantiated empirically for such critical missions. The chapter coordinates the relationship between the research based in the academia and the requirements by the defence industry, with strategies of new generation of materials having global sustainability goals and the operational needs.
