Composites Manufacturing

TRAMA

Several companies are now manufacturing reinforced composite products and researchers are developing manufacturing methods without a reference that thoroughly covers the manufacturing guidelines. Composites Manufacturing: Materials, Product and Process Engineering fills this void. It encompasses all of the aspects of high-quality, low cost composite parts manufacturing. The author presents a fundamental classification of processes, helping you understand where a process fits within the overall scheme and which process is best suited for a particular component.

NOTE EDITORE

More and more companies manufacture reinforced composite products. To meet the market need, researchers and industries are developing manufacturing methods without a reference that thoroughly covers the manufacturing guidelines. Composites Manufacturing: Materials, Product, and Process Engineering fills this void. The author presents a fundamental classification of processes, helping you understand where a process fits within the overall scheme and which process is best suited for a particular component. You will understand:Types of raw materials available for the fabrication of composite productsMethods of selecting right material for an applicationSix important phases of a product development processDesign for manufacturing (DFM) approach for integrating benefits and capabilities of the manufacturing process into design of the product so that the best product can be produced in a shortest possible time and with limited resourcesDetailed description of composites manufacturing processes with some case studies on actual part making such as boat hulls, bathtubs, fishing rods and moreProcess models and process selection criteriaDesign and manufacturing guidelines for making cost-competitive composite productsProcedures for writing manufacturing instructions and bill of materials Joining and machining techniques for composite materialsCost-estimating techniques and methods of comparing technologies/manufacturing processes based on cost Recycling approach to deal with post-market composite products To stay ahead in this quickly changing field, you need information you can trust. You need Composites Manufacturing: Materials, Product, and Process Engineering.
