Introduction to Process and Mechanical Modelling of Engineering Composites: Part 1. Fundamentals

Engineering fibre reinforced composites offer many advantages compared to isotropic metals, but their versatility also creates difficulties for their effective manufacture and design. Amongst these selection of the right fibre-matrix combination for a specific application must consider performance under static and possibly dynamic impact loading conditions, and selection of the most suitable manufacturing route for the required production volume and final part quality. This book introduces ...
