Introduction goes here
The selection process
• Design requirements - Maximum stiffness/weight ratio - Minimum cost - Easy manufacture
What we’re aiming for
Cost
Stiffness/Weight
A bit about nanotubes????
Composite SandwichPros:• Provides descent stiffness/weight• Easy to manufacture• Good crack dissipation• Cheap
Cons:• Foam/honeycomb provide better stiffness/weight ratio• Does not fully use the 3cm available
