Integrated Design and Manufacture Using Fibre-Reinforced Polymeric Composites (Woodhead Publishing Series in Composites Science and Engineering) - Tapa dura

An excellent and timely work which should be of help to everyone in the world of practical composites., Materials World

This very practical book is intended to show how composites are increasingly being used in real-world applications in areas where the primary material choice in the past would have been exclusively metals-based. A series of in-depth case studies examiines the design processes involved in putting together aircraft fuselages, Formua 1 cars, Transit van roofs, infrastructure systems for water treatment and storage and many other novel applications for FRCs. It shows how an awareness of engineering properties needs to be built into the design process at an early stage.

It is essential for professionals in, and newcomers to, the FRP industry; executives in engineering and manufacturing who are considering using FRPs in place of more traditional materials; students in materials science and engineering.
