Fundamentals of Composites Manufacturing : Materials, Methods, and Applications, 2nd Edition, (Includes - DVD)

Focusing on all aspects of composites, "Fundamentals of Composites Manufacturing : Materials, Methods, and Applications" covers the composition, structure, and physical properties of composites. You'll study the manufacturing methods of fiber reinforced plastics and post fabrication techniques, as well as the latest composites applications. Topics include: thermosets, thermoplastics, non-resinous matrices, reinforcements, fiber types, hybrids, physical properties of composites, design principles, environmental effects on composites, manufacturing and inspection techniques, and more.
