Abstract:
Bridges made with fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) composites are
having success in niche markets that appreciate the quick
installation, long life and corrosion resistance. "They are
increasing in popularity, a lot along the lines of niche-type
bridge installations," said John Busel, of the American Composites
Manufacturers Association, a trade group representing more than
1,100 members from the composites industry. Many polymer bridges
are being built in rural areas, where constructing or replacing
conventional bridges can force drivers to make detours of up to 40
miles for long periods of time. Polymer bridges can be assembled
offsite and quickly installed. Website: National Composite Center:

Abstract:
To achieve the specific performance specifications for new
aerospace fastner applications, SPS technologies has developed a
new alloy by modifying the processing of their MP159 alloy. The
new superalloy, designated MP98T alloy, has the same chemistry as
MP159 (AMS 5842) alloy but different cold work and age hardening
parameters. Fastener tensile strength was reduced from 260 ksi to
meet high fracture toughness requirements. The new alloy exhibits
a combination of strength, toughness and corrosion resistance not
previously available in a fastener material. (Contact:
