Construction and Properties of a Carbon Fibre Reinforced Aluminium Bus Bar for a Contactless Power Transfer System.

摘要

The production and properties of 7 m long carbon fibre reinforced aluminium alloy hybrid beams are described. The beams have been successfully used for some months as bus bars for contactless power supply to an induction motor drive and hoist system. In some cases limited buckling and delamination, which could be easily repaired, were observed in the reinforcement and between the metal and composite. The causes of this behaviour are discussed.
