Fastening into lightweight UAV sandwich structures, without crushing the core
8 days agoLightweight UAV sandwich structures offer exceptional strength-to-weight performance. But they leave almost no margin for error when it comes to fastening. When a manufacturer found that even a small tightening force could crush the core, and a relatively small loading across a small area could disbond the skins, it turned to bigHead for a solution.
