Composites Manufacturing: Materials, Product, and Process Engineering : CRC Press : 9780849305856 : 0849305853 : 27 Dec 2001 : 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 products Methods of selecting right material for an application Six important phases of a product development process Design for manufacturing (DFM) approach for integrating benefits and capabilities of the manufacturing process into design of the product so that the best pro
