Hi, guys. I'm fairly new to FSAE and the forums so excuse me if I make any mistakes, but I chose the task of taking our suspension system from steel to carbon fiber tubes this year.
I've read many available papers, but a lot of them are outdated as epoxy technology has progressed throughout the years. I've been researching and so far I've come up with G/flex epoxy.
This seems like a strong and viable epoxy.
Which brings me to my questions:
-What epoxy is your team using?
-Are there any new papers out about a design I can reference to?
-Is an INSTRON test on inserts and epoxy enough validation for a judge?
