Description
Composite Materials: Concurrent Engineering Approach covers different aspects of concurrent engineering approaches in the development of composite products. It is an equally valuable reference for teachers, students, and industry sectors, including information and knowledge on concurrent engineering for composites that are gathered together in one comprehensive resource.
Key Features
- Contains information that is specially designed for concurrent engineering studies
- Includes new topics on conceptual design in the context of concurrent engineering for composites
- Presents new topics on composite materials selection in the context of concurrent engineering for composites
- Written by an expert in both areas (concurrent engineering and composites)
- Provides information on ‘green’ composites
Readership
University and college professors and lecturers in the area of design of composites; University and college students particularly at senior undergraduate, master, PhD or even postdoctoral levels doing research on the design and manufacture of composites; Researchers and materials engineers in industry as reference for the work on design and manufacture of composite materials
