Whether in college or in
the workplace, students and practitioners have relied
on the first edition of "Fundamentals of Composites"
for years to learn about the basics of composites
manufacturing.
Building upon the solid
foundation of the first edition, this revised and
expanded book describes recent advances, adding key
information, case studies, and examples that will
broaden your knowledge of composites materials and
manufacturing methods.
The first focus of this
text is on materials. Several major chapters are
devoted to describing the basic materials that are put
together to create composite structures.
You'll learn about:
matrix properties
polyesters
epoxies
specialty and
high-performance resins
thermoplastics
ceramic and metal
matrix composites
reinforcements
reinforcement forms
testing and
properties
design
sandwich structures
joints
and finishing
The book simply and
clearly presents the details of why composite
materials behave the way they do. Thus composites
designers will gain an understanding of the causes of
material performance, allowing them a wider choice of
materials than might otherwise be possible.
Secondly, the book describes composites manufacturing
methods, providing tips for getting the best results
that weigh the required material properties against
cost and production efficiency.
You'll find chapters
on:
the open molding of
engineering and advanced composites
compression molding
resin infusion
technologies
filament winding and
fiber placement
pultrusion
thermoplastic
molding
damage prevention
and repair
factory issues
the business of
composites
and composites
applications
Fully illustrated, this
comprehensive text and reference presents material in
an easily understandable format. Many features are
provided to make learning easier.
