The various types of current waveforms associated with lightning discharges are discussed together with their relevance to different areas of the aircraft structures. The physical damage that could be sustained by aircraft material due to lightning strikes, in particular the damage to composite material especially carbon fibre, is described. This damage is primarily due to the very fast heating and impulsive forces which lightning currents can produce. Minimum cross-sectional areas required to carry these currents safely are discussed as well as the effect of moisture content and loading the samples during test for the case of carbon fibre composite material. Details of the effects of arc attachment to various composite materials and also metal with the degree and type of damage that can be produced are reviewed.

This research redesigned and manufactured the archery recurve bow riser using Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) system to improve its design, weight and strength. Available design of bow riser was surveyed to get inspiration for new design. Final design of the bow riser design was developed with a CAD software. Prototype of the final design of the bow riser was produced by FDM system with ABS material. Coating the prototype with carbon fibre was made. Vacuum bagging process and mechanical compression process was applied to bond the multiple layers of carbon fibre composite material. The multiple layers were tested using Universal Testing Machine to test the flexural property of the redesigned carbon fibre composite coated bow riser prototype. It is found that the multiple layer of composite can withstand up to 0.1 KN of load. Thus, the study shows that reinforcing the redesigned bow riser prototype using carbon fibre composite is suitable for it is light, easy to shape and strong properties.
