Book Excerpt : Design and Manufacturing of Structural Composites provides an overview of the most common manufacturing routes for fiber reinforced composites, including the influence of the manufacturing route on mechanical properties. It discusses the intermediate steps to convert common fiber/matrix combinations into finished products and provides an insight into some of the most common research challenges for each of the chosen manufacturing processes, covering experimental, analytical and numerical analysis. Particular emphasis is placed on the various types of manufacturing routes for fiber reinforced composites, including the influence of the manufacturing route on mechanical properties, automation, additive manufacturing and recyclability, and material properties and design principles. Chapters cover introduction to composite materials, material preforming and conversion, moulding, enabling technologies, computer aided engineering, reduce, reuse and recycling, and much more. Discusses recent advances in composite manufacturing, automation, additive manufacturing and recyclability Presents various types of manufacturing routes for fiber reinforced composites, including the influence of the manufacturing route on mechanical properties Emphasizes recycling, design simulations and additive manufacturing
