Description
Contents
This text reinforces understanding of transport phenomena and key issues in composites manufacturing and offers guidance on design and process parameters based on scientific principles rather than trial-and-error approaches.
Helps the reader to understand and improve current manufacturing processes, as well as invent novel composite processing techniques !
Process Modeling in Compsites Manufacturing examines transport equations especially geared toward polymer flows....the basics of fluid mechanics and heat transfer principles....short fiber suspension and advanced thermoplastic manufacturing methods....reaction and crystallization kinetics and permeability of fabrics....conventional assumptions in polymer composite processing....modeling tools such as dimensionless analysis and closed forms solutions....compression and injection molding and extrustion....diaphragm, matched die, and stretch and roll forming....thermoset vs. thermoplastic pultrusion.....and fit.
