Abstract
The demand for space research is increasing day to day. nano satellites play a vital role in space research. The materials used for space missions especially for satellites are challenging and many research have been concentrated in this area. The strength, thermos-gravity, lightweight, surface hardness, gain determination and the cost effectiveness are the few important properties that are expected by aerospace engineers. The faces of nano satellites exposed to the earth are made up of materials that can absorb microwaves of radar. An attempt is executed by adding graphite fillers to epoxy glass fibre composites and its stealth properties are determined through gain determination. The thermal strength of the said composite is also analysed.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Vehicle Structures and Systems (IJVSS) is a quarterly journal and is published by MechAero Foundation for Technical Research and Education Excellence (MAFTREE), based in Chennai, India. MAFTREE is engaged in promoting the advancement of technical research and education in the field of mechanical, aerospace, automotive and its related branches of engineering, science, and technology. IJVSS disseminates high quality original research and review papers, case studies, technical notes and book reviews. All published papers in this journal will have undergone rigorous peer review. IJVSS was founded in 2009. IJVSS is available in Print (ISSN 0975-3060) and Online (ISSN 0975-3540) versions. The prime focus of the IJVSS is given to the subjects of modelling, analysis, design, simulation, optimization and testing of structures and systems of the following: 1. Automotive vehicle including scooter, auto, car, motor sport and racing vehicles, 2. Truck, trailer and heavy vehicles for road transport, 3. Rail, bus, tram, emerging transit and hybrid vehicle, 4. Terrain vehicle, armoured vehicle, construction vehicle and Unmanned Ground Vehicle, 5. Aircraft, launch vehicle, missile, airship, spacecraft, space exploration vehicle, 6. Unmanned Aerial Vehicle, Micro Aerial Vehicle, 7. Marine vehicle, ship and yachts and under water vehicles.
