Product Description
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:oTypes of raw materials available for the fabrication of composite productsoMethods of selecting right material for an applicationoSix important phases of a product development processoDesign 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 resourcesoDetailed description of composites manufacturing processes with some case studies on actual part making such as boat hulls, bathtubs, fishing rods and moreoProcess models and process selection criteriaoDesign and manufacturing guidelines for making cost-competitive composite productsoProcedures for writing manufacturing instructions and bill of materials oJoining and machining techniques for composite materialsoCost-estimating techniques and methods of comparing technologies/manufacturing processes based on cost oRecycling 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. |

Reviews from 5 leading experts in the composites industry  5 Stars
January 31, 2002
This book is reviewed by several leading experts in the field of composites manufacturing. Experts are from various companies and leading universities such as M.I.T. Top four reviews are as printed in the back cover of the book. "A comprehensive guide to composites that encompasses aspects for design, manufacture, tooling, and cost considerations of this complex field for aerospace and commercial applications. This book is an excellent source of information for all disciplines, bringing together both introductory and advanced resources in one publication."By Gerald E. Sutton, Vice President-RTM, ATP, Inc., Intellitec Division, DeLand, Florida, USA" · Provides a broad overview of the topics of composites manufacturing· Pulls together key references and provides guidelines to help navigate through this complex field· Covers many topics not often covered elsewhere, such as production planning, cost, and recycling"By Timothy Gutowski, ProfessorDepartment of Mechanical Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (M.I.T.), Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA"This book is suitable for a broad range of users. It focuses on the fundamental processes an engineer or program manager must address when planning to employ advanced composites into his or her project. The book encompasses the latest technology and design issues as composite design science matures."By John Marks, Vice President and General Manager,COI Materials Inc., San Diego, California, USA"This is a good, basic introduction to the field of composites manufacturing and product development. The cost estimating and production planning chapters are very comprehensive. It contains many references to sources of more detailed information.By Dr. John O. Taylor, Vice President, Engineering and R&DGoodrich Corporation, Glacier Garlock Bearings Division, Thorofare, New Jersey, USA"The book covers the whole spectrum of topics from the Applications of Composite Materials, Raw Materials, Materials Selection for Manufacturing, Product Development, Design for Manufacturing, Manufacturing Techniques, Process Models, Production Planning and Manufacturing Instructions, Joining, Machining and Cutting, Cost Estimation and Recycling. Therefore in one volume one can find all aspects related to the Manufacturing of Composites. This book therefore will be useful as an introduction to different aspects of Composites Manufacturing. The chapter on Materials Selection Guidelines provide interesting concept for the Selection of Materials. The chapter on Cost estimation also provides useful guidelines for the manufacturer. This book is highly recommended for the people that consider doing Manufacturing using Composites."By Prof. S.V. Hoa, Director of Concordia Center for Composites at Concordia University, Montreal, Canada.
