The Effect Of Carbon Fibre On The Car Industry And Its Customers

The inclusion of lithium in Reynolds X100 makes sure to block any dislocations within the alloys crystal structure, giving it an outstanding fatigue resistance.

Introduction Automobile usage has increased in America and elsewhere in the world. In a research done by Sutherland, J., et al. (2004) “The US has a contributed to 200 million passengers in cars and light truck over the past few years. Further in 1990, studies showed that US cars increased six times faster than human population. The leaders in the automotive industry must adopt some key elements to ensure success in this fast-moving environment. They must invest in knowing their markets, building brands, adapting product strategies and taking long-term view on their goals and objectives. This paper outlines some of the key factors which should be considered. Environmental factors automotive designers and engineers have always said the main threats in the American Automotive industry are the environmental factors such as fuel economy and the clean air regulations. Automotive Emission posed different problems than manufacturing discharges such as coal smoke. Increased fossil-fuel emission has resulted from the million car increase. Irritation smog, which is comprised of carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, sulfur oxide and other various chemical mixtures are cited in major cities such as Los Angeles. These auto emissions are also said to cause headaches, visual pollutions, contribute to lung cancers and other respiratory disease. In the end, the engineers have designed cars that are better environmental performers, cost effective and fuel efficient to reduce the environmental

Over time the prices of automobiles have become on expensive due to the rise in the inflation rate. In terms of infrastructural development in the auto industry is one of most demanding fields of business. One of the major external factors that can affect the price elasticity comes from the oil dependence. Some other factors that cause shifts in supply & price elasticity; are the taxes that the government place on automotive manufacturers. In addition, to the population figures, and the buying potentiality of the consumers. Another aspect that can cause an area of concern is the price of steel. Although a lot of cars produce today are made of fiberglass, steel is still a needed necessary component in the automotive industry.

Abstract—In this modern era, many advancements in technology have been witnessed. Research and data collected around the world have allowed for these advancements to take place. This has allowed for a better understanding of the footprint humans leave on the environment. As a result, this has allowed for the planet to become eco-friendlier. An eco-friendly advancement in the 21st century is the electric vehicle. There are a plethora of benefits using electric vehicles. Some advantages include no emissions, cost-effective, and low maintenance.

The United States of America is one of the biggest automobile markets in the world. This trend has also created awareness for environmentalist to bring attention to rising level of pollution and emission within the cities and metropolis. As response, the U.S. Government is encouraging the automobile manufacturers to produce clean and renewable alternative vehicles that will drastically reduce pollution and emission. Subsequently, the automobile industry has witnessed a gradual introduction of environmental friendly vehicles that use clean and renewable energy to encourage less pollution and safer environment. The manufactures of these vehicles have introduced into the market three categories of electric passenger car

In todays world most materials that we use in our daily life are dangerous to the environment, either they pollute our air, or they are synthesized made materials, which means that they take thousands of years to decompose. In “NOVA: Making Stuff: Cleaner” they explore how to actually clean up our world for those materials. They look at cleaner ways to generate power mainly in our transportation, and electrical power plants. They review alternatives in fuel production, storage, and distribution processes with a particular emphasis on how trash, and used and unwanted material waste products can play a significant role in that area. They talked about the fact that the future of driving is electrical cars, like from the 19th century, but one problem

The impact of technology affects the market because people are shifting towards the purchase of environmentally friendly cars. The business level strategy at Honda is in line with its enterprise and corporate strategy. In the motorcycle industry, the corporation is striving to build its products and services very close to its customers in a total of 21 plants that are spread across 21 countries (Hu, B.2013).  The corporation also conducts Research and Development (R&D) in a total of six countries. The research and development system is tailored in its approach to producing products and services that are durable and reliable at the same time (Hu, B.2013).  The focus of the Honda foundation is to have three main dimensions; social, economic and environmental issues. Environmental regulations Honda conducts its businesses in Japan and throughout the world (including North America, Europe, and Asia). A continued economic slowdown, recession and the sustained loss of consumer confidence in these markets, which may be caused by rising fuel prices or other factors, could trigger a decline in demand for automobiles, motorcycles and power products that may adversely affect Honda ‘s results of operations (Hu, B.2013).  Regulations regarding vehicle emission levels, fuel economy, noise, safety and noxious substances, as well as levels of pollutants from production plants, are extensive

Environmental concerns have been raised from time to time because of the dependency on the gasoline-fueled engine as the chief auto powertrain technology. This has resulted in exposing many automobile users to unpredictable prices of fuel. These issues were, however, the reason for

Presently around 69% of the average car, by weight, is made up of ferrous metal. This not only adds to the weight of the vehicle but is also susceptible to rust. On the other hand depending on the production process and the nature of the energy source, primary aluminum gives rise to higher emissions than occur in the production of primary steel. However, if recycled aluminum is used, the effort and expense are at a lower level, comparable with recycled steel.

Electric cars are becoming very popular in today’s world and are becoming more main stream. One reason for this is the need for automobiles that have a lower or a zero carbon footprint. For the majority of the history of the automobile, the propulsion system was a gas or a diesel engine that would run off of fossil fuels. The burning of fossil fuels is very hazardous to our world and also creates much toxic pollution. However, electric cars run off of electricity, which is a very clean and pollution free resource, depending on how the electricity was produced of course. In this paper we are going to examine the history of electric cars, look into modern electric car technology, and peer into the future of electric car technology to see if EVs might be the answer to dramatically reducing our global pollution.

Lately, Europe and China have tremendous intention to the electric vehicle as the government of China offers monetary incentive to individuals who purchase the electric cars as well as the company to produce. Innovations, at the moment, are gradually revealed in North America which those fascinate limited target consumers with the long-time single charge and high-speed acceleration electric sport car. Moreover, other American auto manufacturers are marketing electric cars for commuters in innovative design made with light composites

Cars have been around for many years. The first car to move off its own power was in 1769, and 1989 the average weight of a car was about 3,000 pounds. Overtime, cars have been through many changes and improvements. Car makers are constantly in search of improving cars to be better than the last. Can lighter cars be safer? Can the fuel economy benefit if the production of lighter cars were to increase? And lastly, what are alternative composites car makers can invest in? Making cars lighter will not only make them safer, but they will also greatly benefit the fuel economy. Even though we may have the technology to build lighter and safer cars, the cost affects puts this change on hold. Changing a cars build will increase the price on cars

Technology has been advancing since the turn of the century at an unparalleled pace with the constant announcement of new gadgets and innovations. Of the thousands of new technological advancements made in the past decade, the introduction of the electric car has been the most widely discussed topic. Electric cars are one hundred percent emission free and can replace the fire spitting, bone chilling sounds of a thunderous gasoline engine with the eloquent silence of luxury and speed. However, as with all things technological, electric vehicles have their problems. Electric cars have several benefits and could possibly replace gas cars in the future, but they are not refined enough to take over the world today because of a few technicalities

As 5th generations Turbine Engines are being retired, the sixth generation ones have the challenge to increase both speed and performance. Engines as a system needs to increase the thrust to weight ratio, decrease fuel consumption and reduce the super alloys that needed for the build. Successful development of an increase efficiency gas turbine engine will happen by using carbon fiber and epoxy resin composites instead of metal, improving the shape of airfoils, using the latest thermodynamic technology and improving engine functionality.

Under industrial production now, carbon fibers are classified into PAN-based (polyacrylonitrile based) seen on figure 2, pitch-based (coal tar and petroleum products) and rayon-based. The manufacturing of carbon fiber involves a chemical and mechanical process. Mixing the precursor and co-monomer then drawing the fiber out the chemical mixture then mechanically stretching and coating the fibers. The
