Physics Coursework
In today’s society we are always striving to be the biggest, fastest, strongest and most importantly loudest at everything we do. Now with the invention of the composite Hexacone the latter is certain to be achieved. Many audio engineers have now decided to manufacture speaker cones out of the aforementioned Hexacone in order to reach volumes which are unable to be achieved by paper, aluminium or polypropylene which are the commonly found in speakers today. Hexacone is used because of its very stiff and rigid properties. This is due to the fact that it is a composite made from two very strong materials in their own right. Hexacone is composed of two layers of Kevlar sandwiching a honeycomb core of Nomex.
