    摘要: In accordance with at least one aspect of this disclosure, a fastener free joining system, includes, a first tubular shell-type component having a first plurality of teeth defined in a first free end, each tooth extending along a respective tooth axis oblique to an axis of the first component by an angle α. The first plurality of teeth is configured to engage with a plurality of complimentary teeth defined in a second free end of a second tubular shell-type component, such that, when engaged, the first plurality of teeth is configured to remain engaged with the plurality of complimentary teeth under axial load.

    摘要: A method of making a carbonized preform for a carbon-carbon composite brake disk may comprise: stacking a plurality of textile fabric layers, each textile fabric layer in the plurality of textile fabric layers including oxidized polyacrylonitrile (PAN) fibers, each textile fabric layer in the plurality of textile fabric layers being more uniform than a typical fabric layer formed from cross-lapping; each fabric layer being thinner than a typical fabric layer from cross-lapping, needling the plurality of textile fabric layers to form a needled non-woven board; cutting a fibrous preform from the needled non-woven board; and carbonizing the fibrous preform. The resultant non-woven carbonized preform maintains a higher fiber volume and more consistent properties throughout than what would otherwise be achieved using a typical fabric layer from cross-lapping.
