Apple continues to research hinge technology, planning slim but strong ones made out of composite materials for everything from a folding iPhone, to a MacBook Pro, and other wearables. Hinges are ...

The design was exported as an HDF5C file into Ansys Composite PrepPost (ACP) for isotropic optimization. The hinge boundary conditions and loads were entered and simulation results were used to ...

The central challenge was how to quantify and predict composite material behaviors, such as nonlinear deformation, buckling and dynamic snapping, especially with respect to the design of boom hinges.

Magna International developed a patented composite hinge that reduces component weight by up to 30% compared to traditional steel variants, aimed at mid-size and luxury SUVs. Gestamp expanded its ...

According to a PatentlyApple report, the patent was titled “Electronic devices with fiber composite friction hinges.” The description reveals that the patent uses a fiber composite hinge that ...

It's targeted to launch on June 8. Williams on Friday completed an additional run of the Elastic Memory Composite Hinge experiment, which studies the performance of a new type of composite hinge ...
