Hi, my name's Hoagie and I'm an under graduate doing mechanical engineering at QUT in Brisbane, Australia. We're currently working on our '07 FSAE car for comp in December in Melbourne and I have the task of designing a new silencer system for the car. I'm reading about the glass fibre you're using in your research and was wondering if you could share any information with us over here in Australia? How attainable is sufficient quantities of fibre? how manufacturable? Is it expensive? are Volvo much help? Is there any math calculations you would be prepared to send my way?
Basically any info would be great! I hope you find our link interesting; thanks in advance, Hoagie.
