Abstract
SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.
Abstract
The need to develop and use materials that are both much lighter and
stronger than current materials but are also more energy-efficient has been felt due to
the ongoing depletion of resources and the rising demand for component efficiency.
Composites are the best available suitable materials due to their excellent ultra-light
weight and outstanding strength characteristics. They have great energy absorption
capacity, high stiffness, high fracture toughness, and low thermal expansionin addition
to being highly strong in effect and light in weight. Today, composites are being used
in an increasing number of technical fields, from the automotive to aviation.
