Advanced Composite Materials for Aerospace Engineering: Processing,
Properties and Applications predominately focuses on the use of
advanced composite materials in aerospace engineering. It discusses
both the basic and advanced requirements of these materials for
various applications in the aerospace sector, and includes
discussions on all the main types of commercial composites that are
reviewed and compared to those of metals. Various aspects,
including the type of fibre, matrix, structure, properties,
modeling, and testing are considered, as well as mechanical and
structural behavior, along with recent developments. There are
several new types of composite materials that have huge potential
for various applications in the aerospace sector, including
nanocomposites, multiscale and auxetic composites, and self-sensing
and self-healing composites, each of which is discussed in detail.
The book's main strength is its coverage of all aspects of the
topics, including materials, design, processing, properties,
modeling and applications for both existing commercial composites
and those currently under research or development. Valuable case
studies provide relevant examples of various product designs to
enhance learning.
This book presents selected high-quality research papers submitted
to ICNF 2017, the 3rd International Conference on Natural Fibers,
which was held in Braga, Portugal, on 21-23 June 2017. It discusses
the latest research and developments in the field and covers a wide
range of topics related to various aspects of natural-fiber
composites, such as production and processing of raw materials,
surface modification and functionalization, advanced fibrous
structures for composites, nano fibers, experimental
characterization, modeling and analysis, design and product
development, applications, market potential, and environmental
impacts. The book presents the latest research work addressing
different approaches and techniques to improve processing,
performance, functionalities and cost-effectiveness of
natural-fibers composites, in order to increase their applications
in different industrial sectors such as automobiles,
transportation, construction, and sport. & nbsp;
This book is a collection of high quality research and review
papers submitted to the 1st World Conference on Advanced Materials
for Defense (AUXDEFENSE 2018). A wide range of topics related to
the defense area such as ballistic protection, impact and energy
absorption, composite materials, smart materials and structures,
nanomaterials and nano structures, CBRN protection,
thermoregulation, camouflage, auxetic materials, and monitoring
systems is covered. Written by the leading experts in these
subjects, this work discusses both technological advances in terms
of materials as well as product designing, analysis as well as case
studies. This volume will prove to be a valuable resource for
researchers and scientists from different engineering disciplines
such as materials science, chemical engineering, biological
sciences, textile engineering, mechanical engineering,
environmental science, and nanotechnology.
This book focuses on the fibers and textiles used in composite
materials. It presents both existing technologies currently used in
commercial applications and the latest advanced research and
developments. It also discusses the different fiber forms and
architectures, such as short fibers, unidirectional tows,
directionally oriented structures or advanced 2D- and 3D-textile
structures that are used in composite materials. In addition, it
examines various synthetic, natural and metallic fibers that are
used to reinforce polymeric, cementitious and metallic matrices, as
well as fiber properties, special functionalities, manufacturing
processes, and composite processing and properties. Two entire
chapters are dedicated to advanced nanofiber and nanotube
reinforced composite materials. The book goes on to highlight
different surface treatments and finishes that are applied to
improve fiber/matrix interfaces and other essential composite
properties. Although a great deal of information about fibers and
textile structures used for composite applications is already
available, this is the only book currently available that discusses
all types of fibers and structures used to reinforce polymers,
cement, metal or soil to improve their general performance and
multi-functional behaviors. As such, it fills an important gap in
the available literature and provides a valuable resource for a
wide range of students and researchers from academia and industry.
Braiding is a very old textile manufacturing technology that
traditionally has been used to produce items like ropes, shoe
laces, and cables. Recently, braiding has gained attention in the
medical, aerospace, transportation, and civil engineering
communities, among others, due to its ability to produce structures
that can fulfill the explicit demands imposed by these technical
sectors. Braided Structures and Composites: Production, Properties,
Mechanics, and Technical Applications provides a single source of
cutting-edge information on braiding and its applications.
Featuring chapters authored by leading experts in their respective
fields, this first-of-its-kind book: Explains the basic principles
of braiding technology for industrial textiles, composites, and
products Identifies the key parameters that influence the braiding
process and its produced structures Shows how to control these
parameters to achieve the desired material characteristics
Discusses braided structure modeling and analysis techniques and
software tools Describes various application requirements and their
design solutions Braided Structures and Composites: Production,
Properties, Mechanics, and Technical Applications supplies a
critical understanding of braiding from concept to product design
and application. This book is vital to the development of
multifunctional products with highly specific features using
braiding technology.
