Full article 65 comments

A Royal Navy warship that was made from plastic rather than metal to avoid triggering mines was due to set sail to the Gulf from its base at Faslane. HMS Ramsey was made from glass-reinforced plastic so can get near mines where other Navy ships cannot. Read full article

    Fiber-glass, is good option to make warships when you are broke.

    Nice to see Ukistani saving money they had spent a lot.

    Did you try to make missiles with plastic tubes?

    You can save a lot of money.

    Ah! poor Britain once a powerful country an now a joke 3er world style living like cartoneros such a shame.

    Most modern mine sweepers are fibre glass, since a plastic hull reduces the risk from magnetic mines.

    They also make missile launch tubes out of composite materials, the worlds most advanced missiles all use composites.

    You have just showed that you have no idea about plastics.
    Anyone in the business would have been aware of what I was talking about.
    ABS like or Plus is “Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene” and “Polycarbonate” you cannot find out that by googling.

    Have you being doing that so hard? Ha ha

    Affluence is the speed of flow of any plastic. More affluence more liquid become and will copy much better details of molds when injecting parts.

    “Missile tubes are usually filament wound or pultruded”
    And so? what have you discovered? Plastic can be reinforced with many other materials fiber glass, inox steel filaments, etc and even with other plastics.

    Missile tubes are usually thermoset not thermoplastic. Usually Kevlar or Carbon fibre as the winding filament, with a thermoset resin such as Epoxy or Polyester.

    The only idiot talking about Missile tubes is you.
    What have nothing to do about knowledge about plastics Sir.

    Klevlar the commercial brand of DuPont it is just a polymer (polyamide or poliamida) that mixed with resin make a strong flexible material with excellent mechanical and thermal resistant properties.

    Kevlar comes in 2 types 29 and 49, the first (raw as its come from factory) is used like textile fiber for example in bulletproof vest, globes, ropes, clothing, etc and the second is use in automotive and aerospace industry. Doesn’t look so sophisticate. Does it?

    Back to you composite military missiles, I hope you have a good RTSSAS (Real Time Structure Scanner Analyser System) for you toy because on the contrary to conventional metal made missiles, composite material doesn’t show cracks on structure as metal made does.
    What that means?
    Who knows what unpredictable behaviours your toy may perform?

    May be it goes back to you, simply would not work as intended, just it explodes just in front of your nose haha.

    Knowing Mohammed lack of inefficiency I really doubt that you have ever bothered just to think about it. Haha
    You know missiles often get damages in storage, transportation, random factors that can affect its structure, some Monh with a tool can damage the toy who knows? Things happen.

    So mate if you are going to launch one of this, at least shake it a little bit before. I guess that would be your earlier structure failure detector. Haha

    Nicodin,

    Were I to be looking at process control for a composite filament wound tube. I would first of all look at a simple modal test, seeing as any delamination would change the frequency response and highlight any problems cheaply and simply. The only other thing I would contemplate is perhaps some destuctive testing such as acid digestion to confirm fibre density. Anyone designing a composite product would have a higher safety factor on loads to compensate for any potential for damage, which is why compostie products though lighter than their metal equivalent are often heavier than they need be.

    Please do carry on with the “expert” routine, I'm finding it increasingly amusing.

    “I would first of all look at a simple modal test, seeing as any delamination would change the frequency response and highlight any problems cheaply and simply”

    Like what? Remember that you are looking for cracks in the structure well hidden.
    Simple like what?

    There is nothing simple when you are monitoring structures of any kind.

    “The only other thing I would contemplate is perhaps some destuctive testing such as acid digestion to confirm fibre density”

    What is “destuctive testing”? do you mean destructive testing techniques like used in manufacturing?

    This is not useful for our hypothetical case this process involves to the destruction of samples from a given production.
    And will you do all that with an armed Missil that you have to launch?

    You didn’t understand the Idea.

    You have to be 100% that your armed missile will work because it could be damaged 10 minutes before was mounted or in the process in your launcher or whatever you use to fire it.

    Do you get the idea now?

    You would have to use a type of mathematical computerised model and sensors to spot any variation in the structure in situ I guess.
    Thing that I guess is not yet implemented for missiles ha ha

    So shake it and if its not explodes may be you will be lucky enough to launch it and then just in case run faster.

    Plastic materials can be very tricky.

    If there is any hidden delamination, not visible to the naked eye, the structural response will still be altered, which will be easily picked up in a modal response test. I would have presumed anyone expert enough to understand the problem with composite delamination would have some familiarity with modal testing.

    I am unaware of any missile system going into service now that does not use composites. In fact, most missile systems use a composite filament wound motor case as it is significantly lighter than any metal equivalent. Anyone with the most basic understanding would understand that the pressures in the rocket motor are just about the most stressful load case on any component.

    But I digress, apparently according to our expert from Argentina the world's missile manufacturers have all got it wrong.

    @JustinKuntz

    The problem Justin is that go it all wrong because you are talking about material failure in the process of manufacturing where you can use conventional manufactures test techniques, with the test of integrity material and functionality after manufactured and assembly in storage, manipulating, etc.

    Delamination test techniques (what are talking about) involves to exposes the material for example to pressure and see where the material cracks showing the weakness in the laminated material.

    But you cannot expose a missile to a compression test like that.

    Good job you have done by searching on google a wiki but its not enough, you are far away of our hypothetical problem.

    I neither approve nor disapprove but then again I'm secure enough in my own sexuality that I don't find it a threat. But then it seems to bring out Martin's homophobia big style and I refer that gentlemen to consider what Freud had to say on the matter.

    I see to recall that the Argentines frequently referred to British troops as “maricones”. The junta thought the British wouldn't react because they were “maricones”. They underestimated us then, it seems that they are determined to repeat the mistakes of the past.

    1- Why you didn’t post the link straightforward to your paper? Do you think I will read 10,900 search results to find you there? Are you joking?
    2- If you have the knowledge you claim to have why you took the wrong approach to our hypothetical problem?
    3- Your logic fails at least about what you posted above.
    4- If you read it again what I’ve posted above, is a logical conclusion to monitoring an assembled structure using non destructive technique and not destructive technique as you have suggested to use.

    5- Just a simple question for you to see if you are in the plastic business as you said.

    If you want to make a rounded filament in plastics (let’s say ABS commonly used in engineering) by using extruding method, How should be the form of the matrix model?

    Multiple choice here:

    ( ) rounded () oval |__| squared / triangular | linear ) convex ( concave

    If we can deploy a plastic ship to avoid mines then I suppose Argentina can get CFK to swim around and find some. Different size and technology but at least made from the same material.

    1. 'cos I published it 15 years ago, before the Internet really took off.
    2. Talking out of your bottom again. In case you hadn't noticed, pretty much everything I posted a link to contradicts you.
    3. You wouldn't know logic if it bit you on the arse.
    4. Modal testing is not destructive.

    Pray tell Mr Plastics Expert, who in their right minds would use extrusion for a filament wound thermoset composite? Keep digging.

    I just down from the Isle of Skye
    I'm no very big but I'm awful shy
    All the lassies shout as I walk by,
    “Justin, Where's Your Trousers?”

    Let the wind blow high and the wind blow low
    Through the streets in my kilt I go
    All the lassies cry, “Hello!
    Justin, where's your Troosers ?”

    Put your brakes(trousers/troosers) on.

    Mmm, yet another post from Marcos with overtures of homosexual advances. Sorry dear boy, flattered and all that, but my bread is buttered on the other side.

    Been away for a short while, and come back to find you're still banging on about this video!!

    I don't know how many times we have to say this, but once more for luck:

    This video is just a bit of a laugh. It's supposed to be funny and it is.
    It's supposed to get you Argentine dull dogs riled up and it does.
    It doesn't mean the soldiers are all gay.
    Some of them may well be gay, and we don't care about that.
    We have every confidence in these chaps to defend us.
    It only remains to give it a go, if you think you are harder than these nice young men in their pink posing pouches.

    When a squaddie from 2 para was asked what resistance he faced when moving towards Stanley he replied “running”.

    Pink posing pouches, kilts are much prefable to a pair of Argie trousers that have just been soiled by their owner at the thought of actually fighting!

    @JustinKuntz

    1- Do you think that you are talking with a stupid?

    2- In your post #31 you said “I would contemplate is perhaps some destuctive testing”

    What if you didn’t invented a new process I guess you where talking a bout destructive techniquea normally used to tests materials in manufacturing by applying pressure for example with a press to see where the material cracks. Also used in Board using air presure to see how much resistance the material has.

    Then when realised your stupidity of doing that in an assembled or armed ready thing like a missile.

    You jumped up with your testing model that you have not idea how its works until you have made more wiki, goggle searching.

    3- My questing about basic ABS that you couldn’t Answer shows me that you don’t have any idea of plastics. And you are guessing by reading articles on Internet.

    4- “who in their right minds would use extrusion for a filament wound thermoset composite”

    Did I say that? Nope Once a termoset material is extrude will not react again to heat like it is happen with rubber. Once Rubber structure formed by heat and moulding rubber then burns.

    I just asked a simple question about plastics that you cannot answer because you have not idea of the behaviour of certain plastics. Like ABS one of the more used like PP in industries.

    And if you don’t know these basic things hardly you will be able to understand more complex polymer structure or made any testing model or made the software required or, or, or.....

    You have a cassette repeating what you have read somewhere. That’s all mate.

    Very good wiki, google search but you will have try again Justin and harder next time.

    : )
