Objective
Large sectors of European industry are present incorporating carbon fibre based materials into their productlon and manufacturing processes. These materials offer improved, or at least comparable, strength and rigidity performance to basic metals with substantial savings in weight. Compared to exotic steel alloys or titanium their cost effectiveness is also significant. However the current technology employed in the mechanical transfer of loads in excess of tens of tonnes between elements of the structure, is restricted to metal fabricated devices. Hence the full potential of weight saving is not optimised. This proposed project intends to extend the technology of carbon hbre laminate composites into applications requiring an adjustable method of fixture ( ratchets or a high strength screw thread ) currently dominated by machined metals. Development of this technology will also extend the scope of the use of carbon fibre composites to the building construction and related industries where the high strength, lightweight, cost effective support structures prepared totally from carbon fibre composite materials will be of immense benefit. As this technology will be a significant advance of the application of carbon hbre composites to industrial and construction technoiogy it is foreseen that it may become part of an internationally accepted standard mechanical fixture/device material process
