The results from the shearing and bending tests showed an improvement for the carbon-plastic based
on ???-40 carbon fiber, treated by active screen plasma on ASPN5 mode. Therefore, Yuzhnoye SDO for
manufacturing its demonstrator (small-scale mock-up) under the project will use that particular fiber.

Dataset for 3D shape factor between two cylinders

Shape factors (S) are a simple means of accounting for the geometric factors affecting conduction in 1D,
2D and 3D systems.

We have considered two cylinders CYL1 and CYL2 with diameter D, and lengths L1 and L2, respectively.
The coordinates of one end of the cylinders are denoted by CYL1_(x,y,z) and CYL2_(x,y,z). The other end
can be calculated using following formulas:
