Bhubaneswar, May 6 -- Researchers at the National Institute of Technology (NIT)-Rourkela have developed a lightweight material that can come in handy in developing aircraft landing gear.
Typically made of aluminium and aluminium alloys, aircraft landing gear are designed to absorb the weight of the aircraft and must endure contact with the runway.
While aluminium and aluminium alloys are lightweight in nature, their durability under such high-stress conditions remains a limitation.
To address this gap, Prof. Syed Nasimul Alam, Associate Professor, Metallurgical and Materials Engineering, NIT Rourkela, along with his research scholar group, including Dr. Arka Ghosh, Dr. Ashutosh Das, Dr. Pankaj Shrivastava, Nityananda Sahoo, Parth Patel, ...
