Composites in Engineering A Challenge

Presented by: Dave Prosser AM IMechIE Business Development (Rail)


What are Composites?

• A composite is a material having two or more distinct constituents or phases

• These constituents have to be in reasonable proportions (typically greater than 5%)

• The constituent phases have different properties, and therefore the composite properties are noticeably different from those of the constituents

• The constituents are usually combined and intimately mixed by man-made means


Types of Composites

• There are three basic types of composites

• Fibre Reinforced Composite

• Particulate Reinforce Composites

• Laminar Composites

Fibre Reinforced Composites A matrix with reinforcing that is significantly longer in one direction

Particulate Reinforced Composites A matrix with reinforcing that is of approximately equal proportions in all directions

Laminar Composites Layers of materials with differing properties

• Engaged with AUK (Airbus) on the development of new designs and concepts for NGCW (Next Generation Wing Design)

• Providing specific support in the design and analysis of complex composite structure

Next Generation Composite Wing


• Hyde Group Engineering Ltd has over 400 professional engineers, 50 of which have worked on composite structure to a meaningful level

• This experience is a mixture of Design, Stress and Concessions, with access within the group for any amount of tooling

• Composite experience has been gained from a wide range of aerospace applications, both military and civil

• A number of HGEL engineers are trained in composite specialist software such as FibreSim and CATIA Composite Work Bench

• HGEL Engineers hold AUK signatory approvals for composite Structure

Expertise and Experience


• Rail challenges • Moving more passengers • Faster • More efficiently (using less energy) • Affordably.

• Solutions • Passenger comfort and safety • Aerodynamically efficient • Weight reduction, lower maintenance, higher longevity • Industrialisation and integration.
