This book presents an introduction to the design and manufacture of
fibre-reinforced composites. The mechanical properties of
unidirectional composites are considered in a structural design
context. The use of woven and random fibres is also addressed. The
accuracy of design estimates for unidirectional composites is
benchmarked against test data, and the relevance of a factor of
safety (FoS) is established. The importance of prototype testing is
emphasised. This book illustrates how to make a fibre-reinforced
composite. Wet layup, vacuum bagging and prepreg moulding are
covered in detail. Some guidance on mould design and construction
is also provided. Finally, an introduction to the manufacture of
composite tubes is presented. Wherever possible, design and make
examples are used to illustrate the content. Tutorial questions and
problems are included at the end of each chapter. The reader is
encouraged to use these questions and problems to assess their own
level of understanding of the content.
