关于此电子书

Technological progress in composite manufacturing has revolutionized industries such as aerospace, automotive, construction, and sports equipment. These materials boast a compelling combination of high strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and design flexibility. 'Advanced Technologies in Composite Manufacturing and Joining Processes' delves into pivotal advancements that have enhanced performance and cost-effectiveness. Automation and robotics have transformed manufacturing processes, with techniques like automated fiber placement and automated tape laying ensuring precise and consistent reinforcement fiber placement. This minimizes human error, improves repeatability, and expedites production. Material science breakthroughs have given rise to smart composites capable of sensing, responding, and adapting to environmental changes. These smart composites find applications in structural health monitoring, shape-shifting structures, and adaptive aerodynamics. The book covers topics not commonly addressed in other references, including automated composite manufacturing, out-of-autoclave curing, nanostructured composites, smart composites, recycling and sustainability, and hybrid composites. Additionally, it addresses the modeling and simulation of composite manufacturing processes and the joining of composite laminates for product development, offering an exciting exploration for readers and learners.• Delves into the revolutionary effects of technological progress in composite manufacturing.• Highlights the role of automation and robotics; exploring techniques such as automated fiber placement and automated tape laying.• Explores material science breakthroughs and introduces smart composites capable of sensing, responding, and adapting to environmental changes.• Covers a broad range of topics often overlooked, these include automated composite manufacturing, out-of-autoclave curing, nanostructured composites, smart composites, recycling and sustainability, and hybrid composites.• Case studies provide a valuable and practical dimension to the book.
