Design and Manufacture of Structural Composites provides an
overview of the main manufacturing challenges encountered when
processing fibre-reinforced composite materials. Composites are
unique in that the material is created at the same time as the
structure, forming a very close link between the constituents, the
manufacturing process and the resulting mechanical performance.
This book takes an in-depth look at material choices and the
intermediate steps required to convert different fibre and matrix
combinations into finished products. It provides an insight into
recent developments for each of the manufacturing processes
covered, addressing design, cost, rate and mechanical performance.
Topics covered include an introduction to composite materials,
material preforming and conversion, moulding, digital design and
sustainability, which addresses waste reduction, disassembly and
fibre recovery. This book has been developed primarily as a
teaching resource with contributions from leading experts in the
field. The content has evolved from courses given by the authors to
mechanical engineering and materials science students, at both
undergraduate and postgraduate levels. It also draws upon
experience gained during research projects and from leading
industry experts. It therefore provides non-specialists with a
valuable introduction to composite manufacturing techniques,
helping to determine the most suitable manufacturing routes and to
understand the challenges associated with the production of
high-performance composite components.
